"Uganda's Anglican Church is to appoint a bishop to serve in the US, against the
wishes of the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church's US arm. It is the latest
in a series of interventions by African Churches following the US decision to
appoint an openly gay bishop in 2003. Correspondents say the move is expected to
bring closer the fragmentation of the worldwide Anglican communion. It ignores
pleas from Anglican leaders to preserve unity. Uganda's Anglican Church is to

When you drive down the street and you see so many different Christian churches and you wonder why, this is why. This is a fairly serous break in terms of what they see as a difference of opinions. The American church has moved to embrace gays, while the more conservative African churches have continued to preach against them. It is some what interesting I think to note that the Anglican church got its foundation from the King of England in 1534 wanting to be able to divorce his wife.
