Archbishop Linda Nicholls stated in an email to the Anglican Journal that provinces that did not attend the latest Lambeth conference have “separated from the Anglican Communion”.
Does she mean by this that Anglicans in Nigeria, Uganda and Rwanda are fake Anglicans, pale imitations of the genuine article?
When Canadian Anglicans left the Anglican Church of Canada for the Southern Cone and later formed ANiC, this was the claim explicitly made by ACoC clergy, so it is not unreasonable to conclude that Nicholls it is implying this. The fact that the provinces that did not attend Lambeth have full, vibrant churches while liberal western Anglicanism is little more than a twitching corpse whose nervous system is still functioning but has disconnected from any resemblance of sentience does not bother the archbishop. One almost gets the impression she is glad to see the back of these troublesome conservative provinces.
The other interpretation is that liberal western Anglicanism “separated from the Anglican Communion” some years ago by abandoning orthodox Christianity. Not only is it an Anglican fake, but a Christian fake.
From here:
The Anglican churches in Nigeria, Uganda and Rwanda have effectively separated from the Anglican Communion by refusing to participate in the Lambeth Conference, says Archbishop Linda Nicholls, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada.
Like many other Canadian bishops, however, Nicholls also says she left this summer’s meeting in Lambeth, U.K. with a prevailing sense of hope for the future of the Communion.
About 650 bishops attended this summer’s Lambeth Conference, a gathering of Anglican bishops from around the world which last met in 2008. Much media coverage of the conference focused on disagreement over same-sex marriage, particularly after primates of Nigeria, Rwanda and Uganda refused to attend in protest at the invitation of bishops in same-sex unions. The same three provinces had already boycotted the 2008 gathering—attending a meeting of conservative bishops, the Global Anglican Futures Conference, in Jerusalem instead—as well as the meeting of Anglican Communion primates in March 2022.
Reached via email, Nicholls said the Lambeth boycott is a sign those provinces have left the global grouping of Anglican churches.
“Some have already indicated by their non-participation that they have separated from the Anglican Communion,” she said, confirming she meant the provinces of Nigeria, Rwanda and Uganda. “Others continue to participate despite disagreement and I see that continuing into the future.”
The apostates – the so-called bishops but actually are apostates – willingly denounce anyone that stands for the authority of Scripture – have lost all credibility. It is long since past for the leadership in the Anglican Communion to weed out these apostates and welcome the true Christians.
Then there are those who did attend Lambeth and have by their participation “separated from the Anglican Communion”:

Question:
If her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, refused to violate her Coronation Oath by permitting a certain union of marriage to take place, etc., and her Heir Apparent, King Charles III has vowed to uphold the Reformed faith of The Church of England,
what part will these Bishops of Wokefield be taking in the Coronation set for May 6, 2023?

On & on joined St John’s (Shaughnessy) in 1982 was split in 2002 never stops, Rector mentions, “We have -no Pope-, all these -little Popes going around- is how it goes with the Anglicans; furthermore, New Province called, ‘Anglican Church Of North America’ recognized by Canterbury as an -Ecumenical Partner- but my Church still used the name Anglican left 2022 to the Roman Catholic Church now! This is a -great big mess! French Huguenot ancestors joined Church Of England in 1740 on Jersey Island then St John’s Lunenberg in 1753 goes a long way back. Well, it got just too ugly for me left for RC. Heard of others going RC too.
Member of 40 years since 1982 at St John’s (Shaughnessy) until the 2002 split went Anglican Church Of North America; furthermore, My French Huguenot descendants from my Father’s family joined St Helier’s, Jersey, in 1740 & St John’s Lunenberg, Nova Scotia in 1753, the roots -go very far back. I took as much as I can with this left became Roman Catholic from mom’s Portuguese Catholic background.
“The sole and infallible Authority of The WORD of GOD was the primary and fundamental principle of The Reformation.” M.H. D’Aubigne, ‘History of The Reformation’ (1853), p 72. Such is not the principle of Davos; nor of Rome.
Sure, it’s the Word Of God, but one is attracted to family roots & comfort zone & things like that.
This “first principle” reformed Church doctrine, morals, government and worship. It was the Infallible mandate of all who undertook Holy Orders, not least of all Doctors of Divinity, whose Sacred Charge set down, “that Christians receive no other doctrines than those founded upon the express Words of Jesus Christ, the Apostles, and the Prophets, No man, no Assembly of doctors, has a right to prescribe new ones.” The Sword of The Holy Spirit divides + Hebrews 4:12. Both Archbishop of Canterbury and King Charles III are going to need to wield It against the errant House of Bishops about to convene in full violation by GS228 of this Reformation principle.
Tha Anglican Churches of NigerIan, Uganda and Rwanda have not left the Anglican Communion it’s the Anglican Churches in England, America and Canada the have left the world wide Anglican Communion by it’s continuing slide into apostasy. For what it’s worth these so called ‘enlightened churches’ should visit the Anglican Churches in Nigeria, Uganda and Rwanda and ask the question ‘why are your churches flourishing?’
