Zimbabwe Anglicans Optimistic Following Visit by Archbishop of Canterbury

From VOA-

The Archbishop of Canterbury left Zimbabwe early Tuesday for Zambia, the last stop on a pastoral visit to Southern Africa, following a two-hour meeting Monday with President Robert Mugabe during which he appealed to the head of state to intervene to resolve a long-running, bitter and at times violent struggle between Anglican factions.

Dr. Rowan Williams presented Mr. Mugabe with a dossier detailing the abuse and intimidation of Anglicans in the troubled Harare diocese by loyalists of excommunicated former bishop of Harare, Nolbert Kunonga, who has close ties to the president.

Cases in the dossier included the murder of an Anglican parishioner named Jessica Mandeya who refused to comply with demands that she line up behind Kunonga instead of Bishop Nicholas Chad Gandiya, who was appointed in 2010 to head the Harare diocese by the Anglican Church of the Province of Central Africa.
