Church of Uganda Welcomes Justin Welby, says “Communion remains fractured”

Posted by Kendall Harmon

From here:
"The Church of Uganda welcomes the news of the appointment of the Rt. Rev. Justin Welby as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. We are pleased to hear that he is an evangelical and will pray for him to lift up Jesus as "the way, the truth, and the life," and to set the Word of God written as the authority for our common faith and morality. It is a challenging season not only in the Church of England, but also in the global Anglican Communion. The Anglican Communion remains fractured due to the inability of the Instruments of Communion to restore the Communion to Biblical faith and morality. We pledge our cooperation and prayers for him as he takes on the mantle of leadership."

Straight talking from Canon Bagamuhunda on behalf of the Anglican Church of Uganda - one of the largest in the Communion.

Encouraging, positive, and reminding the new ABC firmly of the standard he must meet.
