Archbishop of Uganda Clarifies his Position

You may remember that last week Henry Orombi wrote a letter to the London Times critical of Rowan Williams. Anglican TV spoke to him and he has clarified his position -

"It seems to me that the maturing of the global nature of the Anglican Communion, beyond its colonial beginnings, would involve separating the role of the spiritual leader of the Communion from that of the Primate of All England. The Primate of All England should still retain the title primus inter pares, for he does retain a significant place of honour and historical significance. I would not want to diminish that in any way. We are very grateful for the British missionaries who came to us in Uganda and brought to us the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We shall never forget that and never cease giving thanks."
