Robert Duncan Preaches at Ugandan Enthronement
Referencing John 21:18, Archbishop Duncan spoke directly to the new primate and his wife and the vocation of this new stage of ministry.
“Becoming Archbishop means going where you do not plan to go. You are to have the mind of Christ in a very new way. The Lord Jesus is speaking to you as He spoke to Peter. You Stanley, and Mama, are to die and to live. Many days you will be carried where you do not want to go. You will be Christ’s servant more than ever now, as you seek to serve Him by being the servant of the servants of God.”
The sermon also reflected the deep friendship between the two men which began some eight years ago when Archbishop Ntagali visited Pittsburgh before his consecration.

Sounds like a powerful and positive sermon.
Good to see the leader of ACNA invited to preach at the installment of the Primate of the second or third largest Province in the Communion!
I don’t think anyone sees fully what the Anglican Communion will develop into, yet, but invitations and fellowship like this are part of the essential building blocks for it.
