Rwanda and AMiA to go their separate ways:

[Ed. Note:  It is official.  The Anglican Mission (AM) will permanently split from the Province of Rwanda, becoming an independent mission agency within the US.  The Rt. Rev. Chuck Murphy, leader of the Anglican Mission, was one of the first to lead priest and parishes out of the Episcopal Church in early 2000.  After building their ranks to about 150 parishes, this split from Rwanda, enacted late in 2011, has fractured that structure, with some staying with Rwanda and others leaving both the AM ANDRwanda.  No statistics are available.  Attempts to find a way forward together failed; this communique is the announcement of same.  Cheryl M.

   RECONCILIATION BETWEEN THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF RWANDA AND AMiAWe, the undersigned, met in Johannesburg, South Africa on Tuesday, March 13, 2012 for the purpose of continuing the process of reconciliation initiated in Nairobi, Kenya between the  Anglican Province of Rwanda and the Anglican I\/Iission in the Americas.
2. We are grateful to Archbishop Eliud Wabukala, Primate of the Anglican Province of Kenya and Chairman of GAFCON for his faithful and patient efforts in convening this meeting and acting as  our reconciler and moderator for the misunderstanding that has caused division in our  communities of faith. We are thankful that he is willing to share this document with the leadership of GAFCON, seeking its prayers, wisdom and understanding.
   
   We recognize that our common task is to preach the Gospel faithfully, with the aim of bringing lost souls to Christ Jesus in both Rwanda and North America. Hence, we agree to cooperate  with one another to support and facilitate each other‘s capacity to further this work.
   Accordingly, in our meeting in Johannesburg, it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to agree to the following:
   
   1) that we leave this meeting with the full understanding of our situation and acknowledge that we have done the best within our human efforts to fulfill the recommendations of the Nairobi  Meeting;
   
   2) that we return to our own constituencies to do our God-given mission;
   
   3) that we will honor all parties involved by promising not to engage in judgmental or
   derogatory communication, thereby upholding the fruitful relationship the Anglican Province of Rwanda and the Anglican Mission have enjoyed for the past 12 years;
   
   4). that we mutually agree to intentionally release each other to develop our God-given
   ministries for the advancement of His Kingdom;
   
   5). that we mutually commit to take the necessary steps to implement all the above.
   
   Serving by grace,
