Based Church of Nigeria (Anglican) Severs Ties With Church of Wales After They Elect Lesbian Archbishop With Live-In Girlfriend
Protestia ^ | August 18, 2025 | staff

The Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, has announced that it is officially severing all ties with the Church in Wales after the election of Rev. Cherry Vann as the new Archbishop.

Vann is the first woman to be elected as an Anglican archbishop in the United Kingdom and the first openly gay bishop serving as primate in the Anglican Communion. Notably, Vann is not ‘married’ to her lesbian girlfriend, Wendy Diamond, but has been living in a “same-sex civil partnership” for years.

The Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Rev. Henry Ndukuba, described her appointment as an “abomination before God” and has placed the Church in Wales in a “state of impaired communion,” meaning all official fellowship, ministry partnership, and worship will cease between them. He said in a statement:

We do not recognize the so-called Archbishop of Wales and cannot share communion with a church that has departed from the teachings of the Bible.

The election of a practicing lesbian as an archbishop is not only a departure from the faith once delivered to the saints, but a defiance of God’s order.

…in line with our commitment to the authority of Scripture and the historic Christian faith, we declare a state of impaired communion with the Church in Wales…we stand firm in our call to uphold biblical faith, and we will not compromise with churches that embrace unbiblical innovations.”

Andrea Williams, the chief executive of Christian Concern, said: “Cherry Vann lives with her civil partner, Wendy, in a same-sex relationship. This directly contradicts the Church’s historic and biblical doctrine that marriage is the lifelong union of one man and one woman, and that sexual relationships are reserved for marriage.

“As an ordained minister, and now Archbishop, Cherry Vann has sworn to uphold the teaching of the Church. Instead, she is publicly living in deliberate rejection of those very doctrines.

“That she was elected with a two-thirds majority of the Electoral College demonstrates that the Church in Wales has now institutionally turned away from biblical teaching on sexual morality.

“What is a church if it refuses to uphold the doctrines it professes to believe? What does the Church in Wales actually stand for, if not the gospel handed down through the centuries?

“This appointment marks a tragic moment, evidence that the Church in Wales is in open rebellion against God’s Word. It is a clear sign of apostasy.

“No Bible-believing Christian can remain under the spiritual leadership of someone who so publicly rejects the clear teaching of Scripture.”

I think it was in Play It Again, Sam where Woody Allen was going down the list of women he knew before his recent divorce as he had to try dating again.

“What about Linda James?”

“She’s married now.”

“Joanne Martin?”

“She’s living with a priest.”

One of the reasons I was hoping for an African Pope. They are more conservative.

spirit of antichrist at work

(TODAY THEY ARE IN YOUR FACE FLAUNTING PERVERSION AS NORMAL and hating anyone that disagrees)

Exactly. An apt description of the men of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the streets, roaming for homosexual encounters, wanting to gang-rape the two strangers (who were actually angels of the Lord), declaring Lot to be a self-righteous "judge of their sins", threatening to do worse to Lot than just gang-rape, and trying to beat down the door 🚪 after the angels struck them with blindness.

Roaming the streets with "Pride" (Parades).

And now, the Wicked Walk on Every Side because our society is constantly bombarded with Satan's Homosexual Agenda by the Prince of the Power of the Air (Satan, the god of THIS world 🌎🌏🌍).

Few there be that know the Scriptures because the Word of God is constantly suppressed by men and women who are goats 🐐🐐🐐 inspired by the Dark Principalities and Powers in the Heavenly Realms (Ephesians 6:12).

Do NO harm, Christians, but reject
this Godless Reprobate Agenda.

Sad news. My paternal ancestors came from Wales and so did Welsh Corgis our family has owned since 1966. Daughter has two now and one is a biter. Hope local corgis bite this idiot.

The religion of Sodom spreads by subverting existing institutions.

I think first of Joseph Parry, and then of the Welsh revival of 1904. Nothing gold can stay.

The Anglican Church turned away from God and Jesus decades ago.

Yep. Especially by installing
them in leadership positions.

I see no problem with them learning,
attending, praying 🙏🙏🙏.

Celebrating the lifestyle? No.
The church should not be part of that.

Note the Anglican Church in North America is aligned with African primates, not The Episcopal Church

I remember talking to a Irishman while visiting in Galway years ago and he told me about his Brother and Sister had gone to Africa years ago to bring the people to Christ and now the Africans are coming to Ireland as Priests and Nuns to run the Schools and Churches as there is a shortage of homegrown Religious to do it. I laughed but when I got back home our new Pastor to our Parish was a Nigerian Immigrant.Nice guy but hard to understand his sermons!
