The situation with respect to the Anglican Church in Harare is a matter of grave concern to all in the Anglican Communion. Bishop Kunonga’s close ties with President Robert Mugabe is of deep concern to many and the resort to violent disruption has been widely deplored.
His unilateral actions with respect to the Diocese of Harare and his own status within the Province of Central Africa are, to say the least, questionable and have brought embarrassment to many. Above all, I am concerned for the well-being of faithful Anglicans who seek to practice their faith in peace and free from violence.
We assure Bishop Sebastian Bakare of our prayerful support in this difficult situation, and it is my firm hope that the Province of Central Africa will be enabled to find a way forward at this anxious time.

Too bad, the AC can’t take a similar hard line against the “unilateral” actions of the TEC.
With respect, I don’t think TEC has ever been implicated in murder.
2, Approval of homosexual sex? I think so.
Unilateral action is to be condemned, eh? Is this a new principle only applicable to Africa? Seems to me there is a harmonic vibration or two in the Kearon press release:
“(Their) unilateral actions with respect to the Diocese of (New Hampshire) and (their) own status within the Province of the USA, are, to say the least, questionable and have brought embarrassment to many. Above all, I am concerned for the well-being of faithful Anglicans who seek to practice their faith in peace and free from violence.â€
