The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has officially severed all relationships with the Church of Wales due to the recent election of Bishop Cherry Elizabeth Vann, an open gay cleric as the Archbishop of Wales.
The Primate of the Church of Nigeria, the Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba made this known at the opening session of the Church Conference of Chancellor, Registrars, and Legal officers held in Abuja on Tuesday August 5, 2025.
The theme, “Called as Watchman”, focused on issues of doctrinal fidelity and governance, bringing together key legal figures from within the church.
In his address, Ndukuba condemned Vann’s election, labelling it as “abomination” and a direct violation of biblical teachings.
“A few days ago, the media went awash with news of action of revisionists in Western Church in the United Kingdom, specifically in the Church of Wales. These individuals have not relented from their evil agenda, rather, they have intensified it.
“As the Scripture says, evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. What they call their wisdom and culture is an abomination to God”, he said.
