Extract from the Statement from the Anglican Archbishop of Uganda (a Leaders of Global Anglicanism) released this week following CoE Synod vote to bring in blessing of same s*x marriage (clearly not in line with Gods revealed Word - the Bible):
*The Way Forward*
We now want to ask the Church of England, “Do you have the integrity to step out of the Anglican Communion because you have departed from the Anglican faith?” God called you to preach a Gospel of repentance and faith. Instead, you’re like Jonah. You have disobeyed and are running in the opposite direction.
God called the church to go to Nineveh and preach repentance, but the Church of England is running to Tarshish and preaching acceptance of sin. There is no way we are walking together.
The Church of England, together with the Episcopal Church in America, the Anglican Church of Canada, the Church in Wales, the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Episcopal Anglican Church of Brazil, and others – these are the Provinces that have walked away, but we pray for them to repent.
And, if they refuse to repent, then we call on them to have the integrity to form their own Canterbury Communion because what they believe is not Anglicanism and it is not the faith once delivered to the saints.
If they want to take their whole church into the belly of a whale, they are free to do that; we are, after all, autonomous Anglican Provinces. We think it’s a bad idea, but they are free to do it.
But, they are *NOT* free to drag the whole Anglican Communion with them. The Anglican Communion is NOT an extension of the Church of England.
The Church of England has departed from the Anglican faith and are now false teachers. We fear Jesus’ words for them, “If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.” (Rev 2.5b) It’s that serious.

The Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu
*ARCHBISHOP OF CHURCH OF UGANDA.*
