Zimbabwe's Anglicans in rare victory following Archbishop of Canterbury visit

From The Telegraph-

Zimbabwe's Anglicans have won back control of a mission school previously taken over by a renegade bishop in a rare court victory, just days after the Archbishop of Canterbury visited to try to resolve the rift in his church.

A High Court judge sitting in Harare ruled that 14 members of staff, including the headmaster, house masters, a nurse and teachers, who were evicted last month should be allowed to return to their posts at Daramombe Mission School immediately.

The group were to forced to leave on September 6 after Dr Nolbert Kunonga, a former Bishop of Harare who split from the main church in 2007 over the ordination of homosexuals, declared a takeover of the school.

Dr Kunonga has seized an estimated 40 per cent of church property since he appointed himself Archbishop of the Province of Zimbabwe in 2008. When priests, teachers and nurses refuse to join his faction, they have frequently found themselves forced out, often with the backing of police.

Last week, Dr Rowan Williams gave a powerful sermon in Harare in which he denounced the "injustice and the arrogance of false brethren" and their "Godless" assaults on members of Zimbabwe's 350,000-strong Anglican church.
