Usurpring bishops, elect and otherwise.

The Convocation of Anglicans in North America has published the names of the persons elected by the Church of Nigeria.

'The bishops-elect are the Rev’d Canon Roger Ames (Akron, OH), the Rev’d Canon David Anderson (Atlanta, GA), the Ven. Amos Fagbamiye (Indianapolis, IN), and the Rev’d Canon Nathan Kanu (Oklahoma City, OK). The consecrations will take place in the USA before the end of 2007, at a date and place yet to be determined. These four bishops-elect will join Missionary Bishop Martyn Minns and Suffragan Bishop David Bena in providing an indigenous ecclesiastical structure for faithful Anglicans in this country."

"Indigenous" is an odd term to use in this respect....almost everyone, save the permanent long term residents are not indigenous to this land. That of course includes Bishop Minns.

At any rate, there it is. So now the list of not so indigenous bishops from the various usurper Provinces can be filled out:

The plague of bishops grows and the scandal of mission for the purpose of usurpation intensifies. The Bishops listed here take their authority from Provinces that believe that The Episcopal Church is lost to heresy and unbiblical thinking and must be replaced by another entity. There is no longer any effort for a coup, taking over The Episcopal Church. Instead there is an organized effort to raise a counter force so great that it must be recognized as the legitimate Anglican Communion presence in North America by the Anglican Communion “instruments” of unity.

Here is a list of the bishops who are part of this effort to usurp the legitimate place of The Episcopal Church as the Anglican Communion Province with jurisdiction in the United States of American and some ten overseas dioceses.

We also should note the complicity of Bishops Duncan and Iker directly in this mess, well established by their engagement in the ordinations in Kenya and Uganda.
