[Times Online] 19 Jul 2008--Last night the Archbishop’s troubles grew when the seven primates leading the boycott of Lambeth issued a powerful and unequivocal statement affirming biblical orthodoxy and condemning “false teaching which justifies sin in the name of Christianity”.
The primates — who included the Most Rev Peter Akinola, of Nigeria, the Most Rev Emmanuel Kolini, of Rwanda; the Most Rev Benjamin Nzimbi, of Kenya; and the Most Rev Henry Orombi of Uganda — were the leaders of the Global Anglican Future Conference in Jerusalem, a rival to Lambeth that led to the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans being set up.
In their statement, a direct attack on Dr Williams, they said that the false teaching being pursued by “many” in the Anglican Communion had “led to unbiblical practice in faith and morals, resulting in impaired and broken communion”.
The primates described Dr Williams’s proposals for a covenant that would provide a common doctrine on which all 38 provinces could agree as containing “serious theological flaws”.
