From Ghana Broadcasting Organization:
The Arch-Bishop of the Province of West Africa and Accra Diocese of the Anglican Church Most Rev. Dr. Justice Offei Akrofi has declared that the Diocese of Accra has finally agreed to the ordination of women as Priests of the Church. He said the issue which has been on board for almost 10 years is a breakthrough for the Accra Diocese. He made this known at the closing ceremony of the 20th Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Accra.
Good news, indeed! Thanks be to God. Once again, we are reminded that Anglican Africa is not a monolith.
Thanks to David@Montreal for the link.
Indeed - the solidly evangelical provinces of Kenya and Uganda have both been ordaining women officially since 1990 (and unofficially for a few years before that).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for the courage of the Diocese of Accra. marilyn
