The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has publicly condemned the election of Rt. Rev. Cherry Vann, an openly lesbian cleric, as the Archbishop of Wales.

The Church described the development as a “serious departure from biblical teaching” and a threat to the unity of the global Anglican Communion.


In a statement signed by its Primate, The Most Rev’d Henry Ndukuba, the Nigerian Church said the election of Bishop Vann signaled “spiritual decadence” and “an outright abandonment of the faith once delivered to the saints.” The statement reflects growing tensions within the global Anglican body over questions of sexuality, theology, and ecclesiastical authority.

I am tired of religious matters. Different conflicting belief systems. Everyone should just believe what they want.

 

[Augusta]

Yesh that's why there's a growing tensions within the global Anglican body over questions of sexuality,

 

[Kross]

The Nigerian church would never get to a point that it would allow homosexuality in the church. I know that for sure.

The truth of the matter is that the Christian religion follows the bible, and bible does not approve same sex marriage.

Thank God that Nigeria Anglican church have disassociated themselves from Anglican church of England. What a disgrace to body of christ! They brought christianity to us, now their behaviour is contrary to expectations.
