CHURCH OF NIGERIA CHANGES CONSTITUTION, DELETING ALL REFERENCES TO SEE OF CANTERBURY.

I knew the Anglican Church of Nigeria was preparing for a possible split with Canterbury, but this morning’s news still surprised me. Read about it here.

In their own words:

With a careful rewording of her constitution, the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) redefined her relationship with all other Anglican Churches.

All former references to ‘communion with the see of Canterbury’ were deleted and replaced with another provision of communion with all Anglican Churches, Dioceses and Provinces that hold and maintain the ‘Historic Faith, Doctrine, Sacrament and Discipline of the one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church’.

[Anglican Understatement] I think this might be of significance. [/Anglican Understatement]

Anybody still think the Global South Primates are just posturing?
