Cracks Within Anglican Communion Widen Over Same-Sex Relationships

The fabric connecting the African Anglican Communion to the West seems to be tearing like the temple curtain at Jesus’ death.

This is after the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) wrote a terse letter to the Anglican Church of North America over the issue of same-sex relationships.

The letter signed by Archbishop Henry Ndukuba, the Primate of the Nigerian church comes after a statement by the College of Bishops of Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), which has largely been interpreted as support for the gay.

“The Bishops noted, ‘that the struggle with human identity is real and painful for Christians who experience same-sex attraction’,” read the letter by the Nigerian church which argues further that ACNA seems bent towards promoting same-sex relationships within the American church.

Ndukuba averred that the move by ACNA mirrors the route taken by The Episcopal Church (TEC) before it moved to fully embrace same-sex unions, including among ordained clergy.

The standoff now puts the unity of Anglican bishops who coalesce under the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) at stake.

“ACNA was formed by GAFCON, as a safe haven for faithful Christians who reject the apostasy and rebellion in TEC. They should not now find in ACNA the aberrations which drove them from TEC,” Ndukuba stated.

It is extremely amusing that African Anglicans have higher morals than the Buggered Bishops of Canterbury.
