African archbishop to accuse Rowan Williams of 'betrayal'
Canterbury, England (ENI). The Anglican Archbishop of Uganda, Henry
Orombi, will accuse the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, of
"betrayal" in a comment piece to be published in Britain's The Times
newspaper. According to the blog, or Internet diary, of the newspaper's
religion corespondent, Ruth Gledhill, Orombi will say in an article to be
published on 1 August that the office of the archbishop of Canterbury is
little better than a remnant of colonialism. [485 words, ENI-08-0616]

Catholic presence at Lambeth important says Anglican leader
Canterbury (ENI). Following comments from a cardinal that have caused
controversy, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has welcomed the
presence of a delegation from the Roman Catholic Church at the 2008 Lambeth
Conference. Speaking during a 24 July interview on the national broadcaster,
the BBC, Williams described as "very important" the words of Cardinal Ivan
Dias, the Vatican's Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of
Peoples, who had hit the headlines in several British newspapers with his
remarks that some Western churches live "myopically in the fleeting
present". [565 words, ENI-08-0590]

Lambeth Conference opening on discordant note for Anglicans
Canterbury, England (ENI). When the first Lambeth Conference opened in
1867, only 76 of the Anglican Communion's 144 bishops accepted an invitation
by the Archbishop of Canterbury to attend because of disagreement among them
about the way the church was shaping-up in British colonies. The impetus for
the 1867 meeting came from the Anglican Church in Canada, concerned about
the activities of the British-born bishop of Natal in South Africa, John
Colenso. He was tolerating polygamy among African converts to Christianity,
and questioning traditional doctrines about the Eucharist and eternal
punishment. [557 words, ENI-08-0563]

Anglicans face divisions on women and homosexual clergy
London (ENI). A Church of England bishop has said he wants to go over to
Rome because of his opposition to women bishops, while in a separate
controversy about homosexuality, an openly gay US bishop said the Archbishop
of Canterbury is in an "almost untenable" position in his attempts to hold
together the worldwide Anglican Communion. Bishop Andrew Burnham of
Ebbsfleet, a Church of England cleric who administers parishes opposed to
women priests, said in an interview with Britain's national broadcaster, the
BBC, that he is awaiting a response from the Vatican following his request
to Pope Benedict XVI and Roman Catholic leaders in England and Wales for
advice on coming under Rome. [445 words, ENI-08-0558]

Nairobi/Hong Kong (ENI). The Anglican Church of Kenya is to boycott the
2008 Lambeth Conference of Anglican bishops from around the world in a
dispute about homosexuality, its leader Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi has
announced in Nairobi. "We will not be attending the Lambeth Conference. We
have seen certain things in ways and faith that do not agree with how we
received the Anglican Communion," Nzimbi told journalists at a media
briefing on 10 July in Nairobi. Separately, however, the leader of the
Anglican church in Hong Kong appealed to Anglicans to resolve their
differences through dialogue and the traditional mechanisms of the Anglican
Communion. [501 words, ENI-08-0553]

Catholic and Orthodox warn Church of England on women bishops
Rome (ENI). The Vatican has said a decision by the (Anglican) Church of
England to support the consecration of women as bishops is a setback to
dialogue efforts with the Roman Catholic Church. "Such a decision signifies
a break with the apostolic tradition maintained by all of the churches since
the first millennium and is, therefore, a further obstacle to reconciliation
between the Catholic Church and the Church of England," said the Vatican
statement, released on 8 July by its Pontifical Council for Promoting
Christian Unity. [409 words, ENI-08-0544]
