ANGLICAN CHURCH DIVIDED OVER HOMOSEXUALITY

No fewer than 331 bishops of the Anglican Communion drawn from different continents of the globe Saturday sent a warning signal to the Arch-bishop of Cantabury, Justin Welby, threatening to pull out of the church if the American and European communion refused to renounce homosexuality.
The indication emerged as the second Global Anglican Future Conference, GAFCON, ended in Nairobi, Kenya Friday where 1358 delegates, including 331 Bishops representing tens of millions of faithful Anglicans worldwide, including Nigeria, attended.

Anglican Bishop of Enugu Diocese and of the south-east chapter of the Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma who disclosed the outcome on arrival at Akanu Ibiam international airport Enugu said different communion of the Anglican church may secede if they insist on imposing homosexuality on the church.
Different Bishops of the Anglican Church from the South east that arrived the airport from Nairobi agreed that what Bishop Chukwuma said was their opinion, stressing that they will severe their relationships if their pro-gay Bishops do not back down.
