Recently the Living Churchmagazine reported the appointment of Archbishop Albert Chama of Central Africa as Chairman of the Anglican Alliance's global board of trustees (see here). The announcement included the following:
"For Archbishop Chama, the moment is ripe to harness the potential of an organization that brings together Anglicans from developed and developing nations in a common cause. In 2012, he spoke of the need for Anglicans to work side by side even though their cultural contexts influence what sexual behavior they find acceptable.
'What could happen in Canada cannot be in Africa,' he said about same-sex blessings last year. 'What can happen in Africa is not possible in Canada. It's up to the individual people now to accept that we can work together, but we are different.'"
