Anglican Church Leaders Appoint Communications Officer in Africa


The question is: Why are orthodox Primates allowing the ABC and TEC to get a foothold in Africa?

The news was released with fanfare from London. "Church leaders have welcomed a decision to appoint a Communications Officer in Africa to help Anglicans there better share with the world their stories of life and ministry. The move is an important next step in improving communications between Anglican Communion Churches and in ensuring Anglicans everywhere to hear about the successes and challenges of fulfilling God's mission in differing contexts."

The communications officer will be hired from Africa and located in the Nairobi offices of the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa (CAPA).

The question that must be asked is why are orthodox Global South African leaders allowing, indeed welcoming, this communications post on African soil at a time when these same leaders are saying they have broken communion with the Instruments of Unity including the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Anglican Consultative Council?

What on earth are CAPA bishops doing letting these people through the communications door when they raised a storm of protest about The Episcopal Church funding the CAPA summit in August 2010, which led to the money being sent back.

Why are they giving The Episcopal Church's false prophets a platform in Kenyan Archbishop Eliud Wabukala's backyard when just last week he told REFORM leaders in England, "We are building a truly global fellowship" and that "growing confusion and disorder haunts Anglican Communion."
