Via email from someone with the Archbishop at a meeting–KSH:
Archbishop Eliud Wabukala…would like to make… [the following] absolutely clear.
1. The news report about Abp Wabukala’s “break” from other Christian leaders on Kenya is not accurate
2. Abp Wabukala is unalterably opposed to abortion
3. The Anglican Church of Kenya will be meeting later this month to consult together to articulate their position on the new Constitution.
He is deeply concerned that the “experts” who drafted the constitution did not listen to the voice of the people of Kenya. Abp Wabukala believes that a Constitution is desperately needed in Kenya, but it must also be consistent with ethical and moral foundations of our faith.
Thank the Lord. The reports of this in our local paper seemed a bit suspect, as the archbishop was never quoted directly. The effects of these rumors have already been divisive for the church and the country. I am glad he has made things absolutely clear.
I also am mightily relieved. I had feared that the successor to ++Nzimbi had been seduced by the minions of TEC.
