From All Africa-
Members of the Anglican Church are planning to hold a prayer meeting this Sunday in protest against ongoing persecution from an ousted bishop who is using the police to disrupt their services.
The Church of the Province of Central Africa excommunicated pro-Mugabe Bishop Nolbert Kunonga in 2007 after he attempted to unilaterally withdraw the Diocese of Harare from the Province. Using police and ZANU PF militia, Kunonga has been able to defy the mother church and continue holding onto Anglican property. This is despite him claiming to have formed his own church and having appointed his own priests and bishops.
Even though the High Court ordered that the two warring factions to share church property until a final determination is made, Kunonga's thugs with help from the police have continued to disrupt their rival's church services. At times they simply lock the church buildings to prevent genuine parishioners from holding their services.
