So, What would such an apology say about the Ugandan Martyrs, 22 Catholic and 23 Anglican converts, who in the 1880s were executed by King Mwanga II? That they need not have bothered abandoning their old beliefs? That they should’ve thought harder about ‘efficacy?

Today’s African Christians may also be surprised to discover that their faith is optional – especially given that of the Christians in the world who are killed for their beliefs, 90 percent are from Africa.

I think they are mad because the Anglican Church in Africa is extremely conservative and is basically usurping Englands role as leader, coupled with the Anglicans in the USA and South America who are also very conservative.

Christianity established roots in various parts of Africa long before it became the dominant religion in many parts of Europe. Christianity is not an European White Man religion.

The C of E evangelized Africa, and many came to Christ.

The current year C of E does not approve of such doings. It was contrary to Sodomy.

They need to drop “Church” out of their name.

Sick. Real sick. And the Catholic Church, of which I’m a member, is one of the worst offenders in the effort to unthrone Our Lord, Jesus, as our one and only Savior.

this is “the problem”

https://www.latimes.com/world/la-xpm-2013-mar-08-la-fg-catholics-africa-uganda-20130309-story.html

“Across Africa, the church reinforces the staunchly conservative values of a population that often attends services several times a week, for hours on end. Catholic leaders also provide homes and food for poor and disadvantaged people whom the state doesn’t help, including orphans, abandoned children, the homeless and the disable”

https://www.quora.com/What-do-conservative-African-Anglicans-think-of-the-Roman-Catholic-Church

“Africa was evangelized mostly by Low Churchmen in the 18th and 19th centuries, so the African churches in the Anglican Communion tend to be Low Church/evangelical as well. Most are also very conservative.”

Africa is turning out to be a significcant impediment to the LGBTQXYZ magical thinking crowd
