Zimbabwe Church row as Archbishop of Canterbury visits: meet the child orphans who are its victims

From The London Telegraph-

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, arrives in Zimbabwe on Sunday in a bid to heal a growing rift in the country's church. Aislinn Laing visited an orphanage where 80 unhappy children are among its victims.

For decades it provided a secure if shabby home to up to 80 orphaned children, and the three Anglican sisters who helped to run it gave all the love and encouragement they could to their vulnerable young charges.

But last month the Shearly Cripps Home in Mashonaland East, 35 miles northeast of Harare, became the latest victim of the debilitating feud that has torn the church apart in Zimbabwe over the past four years.

Nolbert Kunonga, a renegade bishop backed by Zimabwe’s president, Robert Mugabe, against the mainstream Anglican church, issued a first eviction order to the three women in person in early September. A week later, at 6am on September 16, the area's deputy sheriff arrived to carry out his order.
