The Church times reports:
A LAMBETH Palace statement has criticised the foundation of the Anglican Mission in England (AMIE), and the ordination in Kenya, last month, of three men from the diocese of Southwark (News, 1 July).
The statement said that Lambeth was “not at all clear” how the panel of five bishops, appointed by the AMIE, a new, conservative Evangelical group, “relate to the proper oversight of the diocesan bishop in the Church of England. Nor is there any definition of what the issues are that might be thought to justify appeal to such a panel rather than the use of normal procedures.”
The Archbishop of Canterbury had spoken to the Archbishop of Kenya, Dr Eliud Wabukala, the statement said, about the ordinations of the men, who are members of the AMIE.
