A deal to avert a break-up of the worldwide Anglican Communion risks collapse amid signals African churches are re-assessing ties with the Church of England.
The leader of a powerful bloc of traditionalists representing the majority of the world’s Anglicans said the CofE has crossed a “line” in recent decisions on homosexuality.
The Most Rev Nicholas Okoh, the Archbishop of Nigeria, said many traditionalists now view the British branches of Anglicanism in a similar light to The Episcopal Church (TEC) in the US.
The latter has been accused of “heresy” for ordaining openly gay bishops and endorsing same-sex marriage.
Archbishop Okoh was recently elected as chairman of the influential “Gafcon” (Global Anglican Future Conference) group of clerics.
