Sep 19, 2007Quickie Link: Anti-Gay Drive in Anglican Churches
By vanrozenheim
(USA) - In increasingly bizarre moves, African archbishops in Nigeria, Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya have been busily appointing American conservatives mainly men who have previously failed to secure election to American dioceses to African bishoprics in recent weeks ostensibly to minister to disaffected Africans and Americans back in US churches. There are now nearly as many American bishops belonging to the Rwandan church as Rwandans. The Anglican communion is nominally headed by Rowan Williams, a theologian who has previously spoken in favour of a more receptive attitude towards Gays. He is distrusted by some conservatives and despised by liberals who feel he has betrayed them.
