"Americans not part of Church of Uganda"

From Thinking Anglicans:

A further release from the Church of Uganda has been received.

See here for the most recent statement. Also here for an earlier statement.

Now this:

For Immediate Release
12th February 2010

Anglican Churches in America Not Part of Church of Uganda’s Position on Anti-Homosexuality Bill

The Church of Uganda does not have oversight of any Anglican churches in the United States. (My emphasis) Member churches of the Anglican Church in North America that have been in partnership with the Church of Uganda in the past were not in any way involved in the Church of Uganda’s position on the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. They were not consulted, nor was their support enlisted. The Ugandan context is different from the American context and it is likely that our American friends will have a different position from that of the Church of Uganda.

From ACNA's website:

Distressed churches and entire dioceses began to disaffiliate from the established provinces in North America and seek episcopal oversight and spiritual care from Anglican Provinces and leaders in other parts of the world, including the primates and churches of Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South America and Uganda. (My emphasis) Beginning in 2000 with the Church of Rwanda, these leaders have responded by accepting orthodox Anglican parishes and dioceses in North America into their care.

Which is it? Has the relationship between ACNA and the Church of Uganda changed? No episcopal oversight? Nowhere in ACNA's account of Our Genesis is a statement from ACNA saying that the group has withdrawn from episcopal oversight by the above mentioned African and South American provinces. If you read the full version of the Genesis statement, you'll see what a conglomeration of groups came together to form ACNA.
