Conservatives Moving
to African Bishops:
Members of the Anglican Church are Fleeing to
African dominated Churches because the African Bishops firmly Oppose
Homosexuality and
Same-sex Marriage
 Conservatives are moving the
Anglican Church for a new communion dominated by African bishops,
according to an article by Phil Brennan, in reaction to the official
church’s refusal to take a firm stand against homosexuality.
According to The New York Times, Anglican conservatives say they
represent a majority of the 77 million members of the Anglican
Communion.
At a week-long
meeting the conservatives said a new council of primates – or
church leaders – will include the archbishops of the provinces of
Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, West Africa and the Southern Cone of
South America.
The dissidents say they are not breaking away
from the Anglican Communion or creating a schism, they charge that the
official communion is following a “false Gospel.”
The Times reports that a statement was
released by the delegates saying that it is time to create a new
province in the United States and Canada to absorb the parishes that
have been outraged by the American churches that have openly gay
bishops and the Canadian churches that are blessing same-sex unions.
