Rwandan archbishop visits Anglican Mission church

[The State] 19 Feb 2008--The Anglican Archbishop of Rwanda, who has served as a refuge for conservative American Anglicans and Episcopalians, told a congregation Sunday that while he is tired of church politics he remains committed to a vision of the Gospel that would end what he calls “spiritual terrorism.”

“God is changing the world and he is changing the church,” said the Most Rev. Emmanuel Kolini, who delivered the sermon at Columbia’s Church of the Apostles and spoke to parishioners at a lunch afterwards. “Because the world is lost. It is godless.”

The congregation, which meets at the State Museum, is one of five Anglican Mission in America churches in South Carolina. Four of the five are Anglican mission plants, operating under Kolini’s authority as Episcopal primate of Rwanda. The fifth, All Saints Church on Pawleys Island, split off from the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina and is now part of the AMIA.
