Ugandan primate 'resigns' from key body of Anglican Communion

Anglican Archbishop Henry Orombi of Uganda is said to have resigned from the standing committee of the 77-million-member Anglican Communion, and cited the appointment of a lesbian bishop by the U.S. Episcopal Church as part of an unacceptable "revisionist theology," reports Ecumenical News International.

At the same time, Orombi called for an urgent meeting of the primates, or senior bishops, of the Anglican Communion without their colleagues from the United States and Canada, "and with an agenda set by the participants themselves". His announcement was made in a 9 April letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams.
