Botswana: The Truth About the
Anglican Diocese of Botswana
20 November 2007

The Diocese of Botswana has not passed a vote of no confidence in their Bishop. As the Diocesan Secretary, I would like to clarify recent media articles, especially the one that appeared in the Monitor of November 12, 2007.

Firstly, it is important to note that any policies or positions made outside the Anglican Church Diocesan Synod or Diocesan Standing Committee are not policies or positions of the Anglican Diocese of Botswana.

The Anglican Church, Diocese of Botswana, has procedures and structures about policy matters. The Diocese is governed by the Diocesan Synod, which is a meeting of representatives of all Church structures. The only organ that legitimately represents the Diocese between Synods is the Diocesan Standing Committee. Legitimate representative bodies are elected at Synod or appointed by the Diocesan Standing Committee. the rest map
