[Virtue Online] 1 Aug 2008--Two high level Global South Archbishops have lashed out at Dr. Rowan Williams and the Lambeth Conference with Ugandan Primate, the Most Rev. Henry Orombi accusing the Archbishop of Canterbury of "betrayal" and holding an office "remnant of British colonialism".

In a letter released yesterday from his headquarters in Kampala, the Ugandan Archbishop said "those who violate biblical teaching must show repentance and regret before we can share communion with them," a point blank aim at the U.S. Episcopal Church.

Neither Orombi nor his fellow bishops are at Lambeth and said his absence was the only way that our voice will be heard. "For more than ten years we have been speaking and have not been heard. So maybe our absence will speak louder than our words."
