From Kenya-The Anglican Church of Kenya has denounced a decision by the Church of England's House of Bishops to allow gay priests to become bishops.
Archbishop Eliud Wabukala yesterday wrote to the Bishops of England saying their move would create further confusion about Anglican moral teachings and make restoring unity to the communion an even greater challenge.
Wabukala sent the letter in his capacity as the chairman of the Global Anglican Future Conference (Gafcon). Gafcon was formed in 2008 as a response to the West's church leadership led by the Archbishop of Canterbury who had invited the Episcopal Church of the USA to attend the Lambeth Conference that year.
The Episcopal Church is a proponent of gay inclusion in the ranks of the Anglican clergy, while the Lambeth Conference is a ten-yearly meeting of bishops from the world-wide Anglican Communion. Gafcon boycotted the conference in 2008.
