ENS: RWANDA: Province approves name-change, affirms new Metropolitan diocese in Kigali
December 13, 2007

[Episcopal News Service] The Province of the Episcopal Church of Rwanda, known locally as L'Eglise Episcopal au Rwanda, will change its name to the Province of the Anglican Church of Rwanda, according to a resolution unanimously approved November 29 by the Provincial Synod.

The resolution was first presented at a November 27 extra-ordinary meeting of Rwanda's College of Bishops, which includes irregularly consecrated bishops who are not formally recognized by the Anglican Communion's Instruments of Communion or the Archbishop of Canterbury. Those bishops, some of whom are former Episcopal priests, serve as missionary bishops in the breakaway Anglican Mission in the Americas (AMiA).
