Message from the new chair of the African Archbishops
Saturday October 06th 2007

Archbishop Ian Ernest of the Indian Ocean was elected the new chair of the Council of the Anglican Provinces of Africa, in succession to Archbishop Peter Akinola who completed his four year term. Archbishop Ernest writes:

“I do not bring long years of experience nor the resources of a large Province but what I do bring is a confidence in Jesus Christ who has been my Lord, Savior and Friend since childhood. My family members have all been faithful Anglicans for generations and we know what it is to live by His grace and have seen His hand at work in our lives.”
