Gafcon is to work with the Barnabas Fund and other agencies, including UK based Anglican International Development, in response to the unfolding emergency as African nations brace themselves to face the twin threats of locust plagues and the crippling effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
On Sunday 1 March, I was privileged to be present for the installation of The Most Revd Dr Stephen Kaziimba as the 9th Archbishop of the Church of Uganda. Gafcon's Membership Development Secretary, Revd Canon Charles Raven attended the event and gives this insight to the enthronement for the Evangelicals Now newspaper.
Those who previously were uninformed about – or closing their eyes to – the severity of what Christians around the world face have found it hard to avoid reality in recent years. Groups like ISIS, Boko Haram, al Shabaab, the Fulani jihadists, the Taliban, and others make denial more difficult. Some groups even post videos of their evil deeds on social media.
