Breaking News
Violence in Kenya continues to have repercussions.
Kenyan Anglican Archbishop David Gitari, speaking
to ENI, reported, "I told [President] Moi myself that his days are numbered
and his kingdom will crumble if he refuses to repent and accept
constitutional changes." Gitari's dramatic statement followed the violent
suppression of pro-democratic rallies and the storming of a
Cathedral by government police.
In a related story, Anglican bishops
meeting in South Africa heard details of Gitari's protest.

Canadian and English churches discuss homosexuality
It's not just the U.S. Episcopal Church that faces the issue of
homosexuality.
- In Canada, British Columbia's bishops have
called for the extension of equal protection under the law to homosexuals,
a position they believe consistent with that taken by the Anglican Church
of Canada.
- The General Synod of the Church of England
voted to request that clergy and congregations engage in "further
discussion on the issue of human sexuality." Placing the issue squarely
before the worldwide Anglican Communion, the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the Most Revd George Carey, announced that next year's Lambeth conference
would be asked to set up an international commission of inquiry into
human sexuality.
