Dear Archbishop Rowan Williams:
It is being reported that the Anglican Church is looking for a president to oversee the global Anglican Communion so as to give the Archbishop of Canterbury more time to deal with the Anglican Church in England. This change seems to be a recognition that most Anglicans are today outside England. More especially, there are more Anglicans in Nigeria than in England. It would also appear that there are more Anglicans in Africa than in other places around the world. We write this letter to draw your attention to this important point and to request that the person to be chosen for this role should be an African. Much has been made of the fact that Christianity is shifting to the global South and especially to Africa. Appointing an African as president of the Anglican Communion would serve to acknowledge the important place which Africa has in contemporary Christianity. More especially, appointing an African to this important position will be pleasing to God because it will be a sign that the Anglican Communion is just.
Yours Truly,
FlourishingAfrica
