From Zimbabwe-The two Anglican factions fighting for control of the church’s properties over the weekend accorded each other chance to worship in church buildings after intervention by the co-ministers of Home Affairs last week.
The warring factions one led by Bishops Nolbert Kunonga and aligned to Zanu-PF, and another led by Sebastian Bakare and in line with the church's broad principles have been at loggerheads after the former was ex-communicated from the church.
Kunonga - a hardliner of Zanu-PF had taken church issues to the political level openly supporting a regime that saw the economic meltdown of a the former bread basket of southern Africa.
Kunonga used the name of the church to support Zanu-PF policies which did not go well with the the church's regional leaders leading to his expulsion.
When Kunonga was expelled from the Church of the Province of Central Africa he used political muscle to form the Province of Zimbabwe.
