The Anglican Church of Nigeria has formally severed all relations with the Church in Wales following the election of Bishop Cherry Vann—an openly lesbian cleric—as its 15th Archbishop. Nigerian primate Henry Ndukuba condemned the move as a significant departure from biblical teaching, reaffirming his church’s commitment to orthodox doctrine. Leaders drew parallels to previous splits with churches over LGBTQ+ clergy and called the Wales decision an “abomination.” The Church of Nigeria pledged ongoing support for Welsh Anglicans adhering to traditional views and signaled plans to expand its mission in Europe, igniting fierce debate over doctrine, inclusion, and global Anglican unity.
