[Kenya Broadcasting Corporation] 11 Jul 2008--Kenya's Anglican bishops have confirmed they will boycott the 15th Lambeth conference in Canterbury, England from July 16 to 3rd August 2008.

The controversial issue of ordination of openly gay bishops and blessing partnerships of same-sex couples in the Episcopal Church in United States is a matter that has further caused tension and divides in the Anglican Church.

This is exactly the reason why Kenya's Anglican officials will not attend the conference.

In a statement made to the press, Archbishop, Benjamin Nzimbi confirmed the church's decision to boycott the meeting, as they do not agree with the decisions to ordain gay bishops

ANGLICAN IS A BIBLE BASED CHURCH AND NO MAN CAN CHANGE IT. THE LABOURS OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS {PAST} SHALL NEVER BE IN VAIN.
