[Virtue Online] 26 Apr 2008--When the Rt. Rev. Dr. Eliud Wabukala, from Bungoma in Western Kenya, was asked why he was going to GAFCON,but not to the Lambeth Conference in July, he told a congregation of Kenyans in his diocese that you don't go to a place where men marry men.

"For us it is not just a theological issue, it is a practical issue. We don't go to a meeting where men marry each other. That is not the way of God. It is not the way of the Lord or Scripture. This is the Sensus Fidelium. It is what the people of God believe, accept, and reject."

The bishop said it was a "hard agonizing decision to make choosing not to go to Lambeth. The question then was what do we do? It became clear to us that we had to go to GAFCON.
