The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has officially severed spiritual ties with the Church of England, following the appointment of Bishop Sarah Mullally as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury.
In a statement issued in Abuja, the Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba, described the development as “devastating” and “insensitive,” accusing the Church of England of deepening divisions within the global Anglican community.
