The Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion on Tuesday, 12 November, 2024 rejected the Church of England’s approval of same-sex marriage.
The Primate of the Anglican Church, Most Rev. Henry Ndukuba, disclosed this during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Divine Commonwealth Conference (DIVCCON 2024) in Abuja.
Ndukuba, however, noted that the difference in opinion does not compromise the relationship between the Church of Nigeria and the Church of England.
“The Church of England has strayed from its Christian principles. They have not only voted to endorse same-sex marriage but have also introduced liturgy celebrating this rebellion against God,” he said.
Ndukuba recounted recent consultations in the UK with leaders from the Global Anglican Future Conference, GAFCON, and various Evangelical and Orthodox representatives, aiming to foster a secure and faithful spiritual environment for their ministries and missions.
