Comment on the Primate's statement on Zimbabwe

Anglican Information's comment on the Primates' statement:

ANGLICAN-INFORMATION observes that the clear statement that the Primates do not recognise the status of Bishops Nolbert Kunonga (Harare) and Elson Jakazi (Manicaland) represents a huge step forward and endorses the heroic work led by Bishop Sebastian Bakare on the part of the Province of Central Africa in attempting to reclaim the dioceses of Harare and Manicaland. We have long chronicled the terrible intimidation and violence on the part of Mugabe backed Nolbert Kunonga and pray that this statement may give heart to those who have been at the receiving end of his atrocities.

ANGLICAN-INFORMATION says it is an encouraging sign that the Primates have been able to tear themselves away from arguments about sexuality, at least for a while, and find a unity of Anglican Communion purpose. It is ironic that it has taken so much suffering to achieve this.

  1. It is good that this story has been carried by so many websites. Anglican Information has hit the nail on the head. Could the Primates really and finally be acting in concert? Also, indeed what an irony that it has taken so much suffering for so long to get them to speak.
