The Anglican bishops of Uganda have announced that they will not take part in the Lambeth Conference, the worldwide meeting of the Anglican hierarchy that will take place at Canterbury in July.Archbishop Henry Orombi said that the Ugandan bishops were joining their colleagues from Nigeria and Rwanda in a boycott of this year's Lambeth Conference because of profound and unresolved disagreements with other Anglican leaders over the ordination of an openly homosexual American bishop.
The installation of Bishop Gene Robinson in New Hampshire was an act of "flagrant disregard" for existing norms within the Anglican communion, he charged.
Anglican leaders in Africa-- where the faith has been growing steadily in recent years-- have repeatedly condemned the acceptance of homosexual conduct in other Anglican dioceses.
"Since this crisis has not yet been resolved," the Archbishop Orombi said, "the bishops of the Church of Uganda have resolved that they will not be participating in the Lambeth Conference."
