Abstract
Several years ago in context of a clergy retreat I was asked by leader to close my eyes and imagine the typical Anglican. Dutifully, I obeyed. When we had opened our eyes leader asked for our reactions. Most, it seems had envisioned an older woman, more than likely a member of altar guild. He agreed with us that we were probably correct in identifying representative Anglican as a woman. He then informed us that that woman was probably in her 20s or 30s, had several children, made a living by subsistence farming and was more likely to live in Nigeria, Uganda or Sudan than in Canada, United States or Great Britain. In a recently published work Professor Andrew Walls reflects on this same reality-the importance of the demographic shift in centre of gravity of Christian world, a shift which has seen European and North American churches decrease in numbers and churches of south come to make up more than half of world's Christians. According to Walls this is significant since, The Christian typical of twenty-first century will be shaped by events and processes that take place in southern continents, and above all by those that take place in Africa... things by which people recognise and judge what Christianity is will (for good or ill) increasingly be determined in Africa. The characteristic doctrines, liturgy, ethical codes, social applications of faith will increasingly he those prominent in Africa. New agendas for theology will appear in Africa.1 This issue focuses our attention on one part of emerging and growing Anglican family in Africa, Episcopal Church of Sudan, possibly fastest growing church in Anglican Communion, probably church which has experienced more suffering and death than any other. The day that I sat down to write this editorial I received an e-mail message, a press release from American State Department. The subject line of e-mail read US suspends discussions with Khartoum. The heading of press release itself read, Aerial Attacks of Feeding Station in Sudan. It seems that on 20 February 2002, a helicopter of government of Sudan fired between six and eight rockets into a World Food Program station killing seventeen people and wounding many. I might have been shocked, but I receive this kind of information on a regular basis. The Catholic Information service reported in November of 2001 that up to that date government of Sudan had launched 119 air attacks on civilian targets in Southern Sudan: refugee camps, hospitals, schools, churches. Many of people killed and wounded in these attacks are our sisters and brothers. …

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
