Church of Nigeria cut ties with Church of Wales over “Gay” Archbishop

The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has officially cut ties with the Church in Wales following the appointment of Bishop Cherry Vann, an openly gay cleric, as the Archbishop of Wales

The announcement was made by the Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba, during the opening session of the Church Conference of Chancellors, Registrars, and Legal Officers held in Abuja on Tuesday.

Ndukuba criticised the decision as a “blatant departure from biblical truth” and part of what he described as an ongoing trend of deviation among Western churches. “A few days ago, the media went awash with the news of the action of the revisionists in the Western Church… These individuals have not relented from their evil agenda; rather, they have intensified it,” he stated.

He described the election of Archbishop Cherry Vann as “an abomination,” arguing that her elevation violates the foundational doctrines of the Church.

“The election of a lesbian woman does not originate as a mission. She was nurtured from an acolyte to a deaconess. It was only upon becoming a bishop that she came out openly and has persisted in defending her position,” Ndukuba said.

He further declared: “We reject the election of the Right Reverend Cherry Vann as the Archbishop of Wales. Just as the Church of Nigeria took a stand following the election of Gene Robinson in the U.S., we are now cutting all ties and relations with the Church in Wales.”
