Global South Anglican

We are allowing this letter to be posted here so that we can all read for ourselves from some of the very sources which have caused all the problems we have in our Communion today. - Ed

There are now 33 Church of Uganda congregations in the U.S. I want you to know of the profound gratitude which these churches have for the protection offered by the Church of Uganda. We praise God for Archbishop Orombi and the House of Bishops, who have paid a high price as they have stood firm for the Gospel and reached out to love and care for faithful Anglicans in America. And now they have taken this step of providing a bishop there in the U.S. to give oversight to these parishes on behalf of their bishops here in Uganda.

On Sunday, 2nd September 2007, the Most Rev. Henry Luke Orombi, Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, and the House of Bishops consecrated two Bishops at St. James Cathedral, Mbarara.  More than 10,000 people, including the Prime Minister of Uganda, attended the colourful and lively five-hour ceremony. 

The actions of the Episcopal Church have created a situation in which some Anglicans in the United States and throughout most of the Provinces of the Communion are convinced that the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is clear in its teaching and must take precedent over culture. Holding fast to this belief, they cannot accommodate those who believe the contrary.
