More conservative Anglican bishops consecrated to America

[Christian Examiner] 1 Oct 2007--The Episcopal Church of Rwanda’s House of Bishops, meeting Sept. 4 in Kigali elected three former Episcopal priests to serve as bishops for the Anglican Mission in the Americas, which describes itself as a “missionary outreach” of the Rwanda Church.

The elections came as more and more conservative congregations in the American communion are seeking to leave The Episcopal Church because of its increasingly liberal interpretation of the Scriptures. Upon leaving, they are looking to overseas communions for jurisdictional oversight.
