We enjoyed, in the meeting, the freshness and richness of the participation of around 100 students from the UTCZ who shared their experiences both in formal and informal meetings. This gave us a
great sign of hope, and of joy and celebration, because their choir sang and danced on several occasions in the worship and in other activities.
Following in chronological order, the speakers included (not including people in charge of the morning and evening worships):
- - Elizabeth Joy from CWM
- - Abraham Berinyuu from EDAN
- - Charles Wanamaker from South Africa
- - Elsa Tamez from Costa Rica (sent her paper)
- - Carlos Ham from Cuba with WCC
- - Peter Henriot, Jesuit from Zambia
- - Israel Selvanayagam from India working in Cambridge
- - Aruna Gnanadason from India with WCC
- - Charles Thomas from Mindolo
- - Michael Kinnamon from the USA
- - Maake Masango from South Africa
- - Esther Mombo from Kenya
- - Edwin Zulo from South Africa
- - Lucy Kasanga from Zambia
- - Ivone Gebara from Brazil
- - Adolfo Ham from Cuba
- - Jacques Thomson from Scotland
- - Ernst Conradie from South Africa
- - Stephen Plant form England
- - Ken Ross from Scotland
- - John Kafwanka from Zambia
- - Caroline Wickens from England serving in Kenya
- - Marilyn Legge from Canada
- - Chris Ferguson from Canada
- - Musonda Bwalya from Zambia
- - Muimui Sinyama from Zambia
- - Tobias Brankner from Switzerland serving in Hong Kong
- - M Mahlangu-Ngeobo from South Africa serving in the USA

Serving as hosts were:

- - Teddy Kalongo, president of the UTCZ
- - Patrice Siyemeto presiding Bishop of the United Church of Zambia (UCZ).
As it can be noted in the list, even when there was representation from all five Continents, there was an absence of participants from Eastern Europe, East Asia and the Pacific. We did not receive
any inputs from the Orthodox tradition and hardly any from the Evangelical and Pentecostal traditions, which would have made our conference much richer and diverse. We had the participation of a Roman Catholic priest. We also
missed a good introduction to the Zambian reality, both from the secular point of view, as well as ecclesiastically.
