According to a July 2 release by the Anglican Communion News Service, Archbishop Aspinall will chair a daily press briefing during the conference. He previously served as spokesman for the primates at their 2007 meeting in Tanzania.

“The Conference will be a time for listening as well as speaking, and I will be as much a part of that listening process as my fellow bishops,” Archbishop Aspinall said. The Living Church
