Homosexual: Anglican Church of Nigeria Ends All Ties With Church in Wales, Describes It as “Abomination, Unbiblical"
By: Israel Adeleke
OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports as gathered that, following the appointment of Bishop Cherry Vann, an openly gay cleric, as the Archbishop of Wales, the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has ended all ties with the Church in Wales.
OTN News further reports as gathered that, the announcement was made by the primate of the Church of Nigeria, the Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba, during the opening session of the Church Conference of Chancellors, Registrars, and Legal Officers in Abuja on Tuesday.
Ndukuba addressing the gathering, condemned the election of Archbishop Vann, characterising it as an “abomination” and unbiblical.
OTN News observes that, while he was elucidating the negativity of such move which he believes to be a dangerous pattern among Western churches, he described the Church of Wales’ decision as a “blatant departure from biblical truth”
According to him, “a few days ago, the media went awash with the news of the action of the revisionists in the Western Church… These individuals have not relented from their evil agenda; rather, they have intensified it.
“The election of a lesbian woman does not originate as a mission. She was nurtured from an acolyte to a deaconess. It was only upon becoming a bishop that she came out openly and has persisted in defending her position.
“We reject the election of the Right Reverend Cherry Vann as the Archbishop of Wales. Just as the Church of Nigeria took steps after the election of Gene Robinson in the United States, we are severing every tie and relationship with the Church of Wales.” Ndukuba added.
