Zimbabwe: Priest Evicted As Anglican Church Row Escalates


From Zimbabwe-

An Anglican priest in Zimbabwe and his family have been evicted from their home by priests loyal to excommunicated bishop Dr Nolbert Kunonga.

Others across the diocese have also been ordered to leave.

The Rev Dzikamai Mudenda, his wife and their extended family, were forced to leave St James Mabvuku in Harare in the wake of a High Court judgement that Dr Kunonga had interim custody of church properties.

Other priests living in parish rectories have received stamped copies of the High Court judgment from supporters of Dr Kunonga. In some cases, the police accompanied the supporters. The priests, including Friar Joshua from Bishop Gaul College, have been told to move out.

The Rt Rev Chad Gandiya, Bishop of Harare, said yesterday that alternative accommodation has been found for Rev Mudenda and that they are preparing for the eviction of other priests.
