Reinstate banned priests, orders court

We have a controversy in Botswana- Bishop Trevor Mwamba is pictured

Anglican Diocese of Botswana's Bishop Trevor Mwamba revoked their licences late last year, accusing them of contravening the Constitution and Canons of the Church of the Province of Central Africa. On the other hand the priests contended that he was pushing them out to pave way for foreigners, mostly from Zambia and Zimbabwe.

"The decision by the bishop to withdraw and revoke applicants' licences to practise as priests of the Anglican Church is hereby set aside as being contrary to the Acts of Diocese of Botswana and or the Constitution and Canons of the Anglican Church," Justice Dingake said. The costs were not awarded to any of the parties.an

Please remember that the deposed priests were supporters of excommunicated Nolbert Kunonga. That is why they were suspended. See www.Anglican-information-archive.org
