African archbishop says Anglican church still faces 'gay' crisis

An influential African archbishop said Thursday that the Anglican church was still in crisis despite the US Episcopal Church agreeing to halt the ordination of gay bishops and blessing same-sex unions.

Benjamin Kwashi, archbishop-elect of Jos province in Nigeria, insisted that the gay crisis was “not resolved” by the statement by US church leaders.

“The statement by the U.S. Episcopal bishops should be taken with extreme caution,” Kwashi told Nigerian media.

“The US bishops have not said anything different from their earlier liberal stance, which supports same-sex unions.”

    For all the nasty stuff that has been written and said about the Africans they are obviously be smart enough to read a pecusa statement and see it for what it is. Of course pecusa statements are not rocket science.

  2. Martin Reynolds says:

    But it now seems that by far the majority of Anglican Churches worldwide are going to accept this statement and move on.

    #2: What is your support for that statement? I think it’s a bit early.
