From Zimbabwe-The Bishop of Harare has urged Anglicans in Zimbabwe to be vigilant amid reports of intimidation.
Bishop Chad Gandiya said in a pastoral letter that he had received reports of threats to harm rural clergy.
"Do not take these threats lightly," he warned.
"Please report such threats to life to the police and keep us informed. The police are obligated to protect all people without favour.
"We ask all our parishes to be vigilant and to be your brothers and sisters keepers."
Bishop Gandiya urged Anglicans to renounce violence.
"Our diocese condemns all forms of violence and particularly political violence and therefore we urge all the faithful to shun violence," he said.
"It is an affront to God’s all encompassing love and unbecoming of those who claim to know him. Let the whole world know that we are his disciples by our love for each other."
