While reconciliation is openly being sought between two groups in the Anglican Mission in the Americas that recently split, not everybody is ready to move. With the change of leadership in Rwanda, the change in relationship will be fraternal not residential. It will not be one of oversight, according to Bishop John Rodgers, AMIA bishop and theologian.
He said recent meetings with ACNA Archbishop Robert Duncan and Bishop Chuck Murphy revealed concerns for inclusion; roundtable talks came to the fore, but met with no conclusion. "We entered into a process with the ACNA, but in terms of the arrangement (which AMIA had helped form), it would allow AMIA to keep its unique structure and culture. We are not committing hari-kari. We laid it before Archbishop Duncan and we have set up a process for resolution by June of this year. We will see then if it still fits. We have sought at all times to be faithful Anglicans."
