Ugandan Anglicans Sever Ties with US Episcopalians

As a result of the Episcopal Church naming a homosexual to the position of bishop, the Anglican Church of Uganda formally severed ties with American Episcopalians. The action was taken despite the fact that it will result in the loss of scholarships and financial aid from the Episcopal Church.

The consecration of a homosexual man, Gene Robinson, as bishop of the New Hampshire Diocese has been condemned throughout Africa. And:

On Nov. 3, overseas bishops who said they represented 50 million of the world's 77 million Anglicans jointly announced that they were in a "state of impaired communion" with the Episcopal Church - a step short of declaring a full schism. Episcopalians form the U.S. branch of Anglicanism.

These actions are coincident with the announcement by William Tumbleson, a lifelong Episcopalian, that he was quitting the priesthood for the same reason.

One has to wonder if there will be other repercussions.
