“It was Bible-believing Christians who have transformed the face of Africa in the last 150 years and we can transform it again.” – Idowu-Fearon
Representatives from at least six church organizations—including Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and Archbishop Josiah Atkins Idowu-Fearon are expected to speak at General Synod
The Anglican Communion Office has released this statement from Archbishop Josiah Idowu-Fearon, Secretary General of the Anglican Communion in response to recent comments on events leading up to the Anglican Consultative Council meeting, ACC-16.
Archbishop Idowu-Fearon acts like the Anglican Covenant is in force. It is not.
“… those on the right and those on the left must learn to live together with a good understanding of our differences” in the communion said Archbishop Idowu-Fearon, general secretary of the Anglican Communion Office.
The Most Revd Josiah Idowu-Fearon took time in his sermon to outline and counter some myths about African Christianity that he finds prevalent in the church.
The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition. The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity. Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.
