Future historians will marvel at how two percent of Anglicans managed to persuade the other 98 percent that they must change their minds about the clear teaching of Scripture on human sexual behavior even though the book they claim to believe in (the Bible) gave them no such mandate to do so.
The combination of cultural Marxism (theological liberalism) combined with the ideology of Gramsci and the Frankfurt School to alter modes of thinking and behavior of the masses have not persuaded the three biblically grounded orthodox archbishops to change their minds; "We will not join multitudes or dine with you against scriptural principles," they said. Strong language indeed.
The Primates of the Churches of Nigeria, Rwanda and Uganda responded to the Archbishop of Canterbury's letter dated 27th May, 2022 where he urged and cajoled the three Primates to attend the forthcoming Lambeth Conference.
We are three weeks away from Lambeth and despite pleas from Archbishop Justin Welby and Dr. Josiah Fearon, Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, the recalcitrant primates have not changed their minds; the answer is still Nyet.
Archbishop Henry Ndukuba of Nigeria, Archbishop Laurent Mbanda and Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba in a letter jointly signed, noted that they will not 'join the multitudes to do evil'.

In the United Methodist Church as well, which is undergoing a schism as a result of homosexual activism that just wouldn't quit. The Africans are not having it.
In this excellent article, these bishops discuss the need for a schismatic break where there are these clearly incompatible camps—solid Biblical belief versus denial of the plain language of scripture.
Thanks, appreciate the correction and comment.
I often wonder why so many leftist American blacks use African names, wear African clothing, appeal to African traditions, etc., when actual Africans are such “homophobic uncle toms.”
When I see “African Primates” I think Chimp or Gorilla.
Catholics have primates, too. Except, oddly, the United States doesn't have a Catholic primate because no Catholic primatial see has ever been established in the US. If we had one, it would probably be Baltimore.
