Christianity Today picks up the AMiA story


Bishop Murphy to seek another Anglican province as sponsor

Bobby Ross Jr., has written a great story of the Anglican Mission in America (AMiA). The article at Christianity Today entitled “Leaving Rwanda: Breakaway Anglicans Break Away Again” is rather clever. It draws upon the imagery of “Out of Africa” as well as offering an amusing play on “breakaway – break away”.

He also takes the story forward, reporting that Bishop Murphy and his faction of the AMiA will seek another Anglican Province to serve as its sponsor. They're out of Rwanda but hopefully not out of Africa -- and the Anglican Communion.

I did not envy Bobby when I learned he had been commissioned by CT to do this story. Explaining intramural Anglican affairs is difficult enough to an audience that self-identifies as being Anglican/Episcopal, but making sense of the story for the wider Protestant world (CT’s audience) is harder still.
