Gay bishop move rejected by Kenya
September 26, 2007 on 8:39 pm | In Gay News |
The head of Kenya’s Anglican Church has rejected a compromise over gay bishops by US Episcopal Church leaders.
They have said they will halt the ordination of gay bishops and public blessings of same-sex relationships to prevent a split in the Anglican Church.
“That word ‘halt’ is not enough,” said Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi.
Many African Anglicans threatened to leave the worldwide Anglican Communion after the ordination of the first openly gay bishop four years ago.
The American Church was told to meet the conditions by 30 September or lose membership of the communion.
US bishops made the decision after a six-day meeting in New Orleans.
