Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, on Friday, issued a statement condemning the declaration by the Primate of Nigeria, Archbishop Henry Ndukuba as homophobic. He clarified that the language went against the agreed teaching of the Anglican Communion as addressed by resolution I.10 of the Lambeth Conference 1998. Primate of Nigeria Archbishop Henry Ndukuba has taken issue with the decision to leave the discretion of dealing with homosexuality matters to individual bishops. For this reason, it has been connected with a number of Anglican Communion provinces in Africa notably, the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK), Anglican Church of Rwanda, Church of Uganda and Church of Nigeria.
