The Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, has rejected the election of an openly confessed lesbian cleric, Rt. Rev. Cherry Vann as new Archbishop of Wales.
The Church stated that the development is a “serious departure from the biblical teaching” and a threat to the unity of the global Anglican Communion.
While condemning Vann’s election in a statement issued by its Primate, The Most Rev’d Henry Ndukuba, the Church cited “2Timothy 4:3–4″.
“The election of Bishop Vann is a clear revelation that many who claim to be members of the body of Christ can’t endure sound doctrine”.
While accusing Bishop Vann of being complicit in ongoing same-sex marriage crisis in the Anglican Church, Henry Ndukuba
“The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) will not recognize the election of Rt. Rev. Cherry Vann as Archbishop of Wales. We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ will build His Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”.
