[The Standard] 11 Jul 2008--Kenyan Anglican bishops have joined their counterparts in Uganda, Rwanda and Nigeria in boycotting the Church conference that begins on Wednesday in London.

The 14th Lambeth Conference will take place in Canterbury between July 16 and August 4.

The conference meets at Lambeth Palace, London, every ten years to discuss doctrinal, disciplinary, ecumenical and missionary matters.

ACK Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi on Thursday reaffirmed that the local Church would not attend the conference to protest against the presence of pro-gay bishops.

"We won’t attend the forthcoming Lambeth though we have not broken away from the communion," Nzimbi said.
