The following Primates were elected as members of the Primates' Standing Committee at the recent Primates' Meeting in Dublin, Ireland, and have agreed to serve for a period of three years.
From Africa, Archbishop Daniel Deng Bul Yak (Sudan) was elected, but he was not in Dublin for his election. At the 2008 Lambeth Conference the Sudanese leader held an impromptu press conference at which time he excoriated The Episcopal Church for ordaining a homosexual to the episcopacy.
The alternate is the liberal leaning Burundi Archbishop Bernard Ntahoturi who told me he was there to represent Global South interests because a third of the archbishops, mostly Global South, were not. Later, he told Ruth Gledhillof The Times (London) that the 38 warring provinces should learn to get on with each other, because of Jesus' command to "love your neighbor."
Archbishop Ntahoturi said: "The Anglican Communion is our communion. We have a share. We have a place in that communion.... The Anglican Church of Burundi recognizes there are problems in the Communion. The Communion is a family. When children disagree on certain issues, you do not separate. You meet and discuss those issues together." He said the boycott was not against The Episcopal Church, but because previous decisions of the Primates' Council had not implemented. "For us in Burundi, we say some decisions take some time to implement." He supports the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
