The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will not be attending the GAFCON II Conference in Nairobi this month, a spokesman tells Anglican Ink, due to a schedule conflict.

A spokesman from the Lambeth Press Office said the Archbishop had been invited to address the 21-26 October 2013 meeting of centrist and conservative Anglican leaders set for All Saints' Cathedral in Nairobi. However, he "is unable to attend because of a long-standing commitment on the same date.

 He will be sending a pre-recorded video greeting," the spokesman said. On 23 Oct, the Archbishop will baptize Prince George of Cambridge at the Chapel Royal at St James' Palace in London.  the rest
