Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 65084, member: 636"] The Anglican Church of Nigeria has officially rejected the election of Sarah Mullally as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury. Archbishop Henry Ndukuba criticized Mullally’s appointment, calling it a “double jeopardy” due to the imposition of female leadership and her support for same-sex marriage. Ndukuba questioned how Mullally could heal divisions within the Anglican Communion, given ongoing debates on same-sex marriage. The Church of Nigeria, a member of the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (GAFCON), reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the authority of Scripture and rejected what it termed the “revisionist agenda” in certain parts of the Communion. GAFCON also expressed disappointment, claiming the Church of England had abandoned global Anglicans. Mullally’s appointment, approved by King Charles III, will make her the first woman to hold the role, which she is set to take office in January. [/QUOTE]
