The capitol cities of most African countries are pretty modern, and I bet FedEx makes deliveries to even Uganda every day or so. And yes, they do have email. Besides there are still telegrams.
No, this is purposeful grandstanding via the internet—repeatedly done by Schori et al. in the past to conservative African bishops. The amount of snide condescension and even racism by “enlightened” American revisionists towards the Africans simply cannot be overestimated.
Well, yeah, it’s the old “open letter” trick. The difference being, Bishop Orombi didn’t lie back and take Schori’s arrogance, he rather forcefully reminded her why he even *has* a flock in the United States—because of her and her denomination’s repeated departure from Christian faith and traditional doctrine. She probably wasn’t expecting two to play at that game, much less for her to get “pwned” (as we gaming geeks say) like she did.

Thanks for the additional information. It makes more sense with the context.
