| Description | Two African Anglican Provinces - Central Africa and Southern Africa - say they will not go along with CAPA's call to disassociate itself from the Episcopal Church for its actions in consecrating a non-celibate homosexual and a lesbian to the episcopacy.
In a letter VOL has obtained, the two provinces say that notwithstanding, the impression being created at the Conference that all Provinces in Africa are of one mind to abandon our relationship with TEC, [we believe this] is wrong. "Painful as the action is it should not become the presenting issue to lead to the break-up up of our legacy and this gift of God - the worldwide Anglican Communion."
The statement from the two CAPA provinces throws as an ecclesiastical spanner in the works, but did not derail the overwhelming majority of some 10 (out of 12) Anglican provinces who believe TEC has strayed far from the theological and ecclesiastical fold and should no longer be associated with.
"We are mindful that the Anglican Communion is under severe strain because of certain actions taken by the Episcopal Church (TEC) by their ordination of openly gay bishops. |
