The fabric connecting the African Anglican Communion to the West seems to be tearing like the temple curtain at Jesus’ death. This is after the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) wrote a terse letter to the Anglican Church of North America over the issue of same-sex relationships. The standoff now puts the unity of Anglican bishops who coalesce under the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) at stake. Some of the most vocal provinces against same-sex marriages in East Africa include the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK), Church of Uganda, the Anglican Church of Tanzania (ACT) and the Anglican Church of Rwanda. Dr Sapit said he will not attend the conference unless the invitation extended to gay bishops from North America is withdrawn.
