Anglican Bishop Tengatenga bids farewell Sunday as resignation notice draws this month in Malawi

From Malawi-

The Anglican Diocese of Southern Malawi has set Sunday December 8 2013 as the day His Lordship Dr. James Tengatenga will bid farewell to the Anglican Communion which he led for the past 15 years as a Bishop.

The Synod Elective Assembly witnessed the nomination process of Reverend Canon Alinafe Kalemba on August 24 at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Blantyre before going the process of confirmation on October 4 at the St. Michael’s and All Angels Cathedral in Zambia, and finally allowing the Provincial Bishop to preside over the consecration on October 27 at Country Club Limbe, Malawi.
But the process is not yet over for Reverend Alinafe Lawrence Kalemba to assume the office of the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Southern Malawi, News Time Africa can report.


Under the Canon law, there can never be two Bishops in an Anglican Diocese at a time and since Bishop Dr. James Tengatenga officially steps down this month, the outgoing Bishop is this Sunday bidding farewell at his Pastoral office at St. Paul’s Cathedral.


The enthronement of his replacement, the Right Reverend Kalemba is scheduled for December 22 2013, Newstime Africa has learnt.
