The Kigali Commitment, issued in 2023 by the fourth Global Anglican Future Conference, is that conference's own communique calling for a reset of authority within the Anglican Communion. As a statement issued in the participating provinces' and bishops' own name, it is fully authoritative for what those signatories actually said and where they stand, which is the fact this atlas cites it for. It represents one faction's position in a real and ongoing dispute within global Anglicanism, not a Communion wide consensus, and provinces that did not participate in GAFCON are not represented by it.
