Talk:Anglican Church of Southern Africa

message: OK. I see a problem here. Within the next couple of years, this is going to be the name of the church. Which means that we'll want to move the page here. But we won't be able to b/c a page (albeit a redirect) exists here? I myself am an overzealous creator of redirect pages, but this could prove difficult. We'll have to get it deleted before the move, won't we? Carolynparrishfan 01:39, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No. If Article A (in this case, Anglican Church of Southern Africa) contains only a redirect to Article B (in this case, Church of the Province of Southern Africa), and there are no other revisions in the history of Article A, then the software will allow you to move Article B to Article A (and Article B will become a redirect to Article A). See WP:MOVE#Moving over a redirect for more information. - htonl 21:35, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The Article on the Anglican Church of Southern African indicates that in 1870 the Church of England in South Africa (CESA) formed a break away group of churches/congregations. This in incorrect. In 1870 Bishop Gray called a synod meeting of the churches in the Southern African region at which the Church of the Province of Southern Africa (CPSA) now know the Anglican Church of Southern Africa was formed. Those churces/congregations  which decided to remain part of the Church of England and not become part of the CPSA became known as the Church of England in South Africa (CESA). Thus the CPSA broke away from the Church of England to form a new Anglican province and although in the following years the Archbiship of Canterbury did not recongnises CESA it was in fact the CPSA and not the CESA who broke from the Church of England. One additional note as well as good relations with Anglicans in Sydney, Australia CESA also has good relationship with many evangleical Anglicans in England, many part of Africa and South America. If you want to read more on the history of CESA  then read the book "A Candle Burns in Africa" by Tony Ive which was published in 1992 and can be purchased online at the Church Society online store on their website.

thread_title:  Correction to Article on Anglican Church of Southern African 

message: An unregistered user made a change to this article, relating to the matter raised above. The same user made additions to John Stott and Martyn Lloyd-Jones, which I reverted as they were unsourced contentious material. I am reluctant to do the same here due to the need to maintain NPOV on what sounds like a delicate issue that I know nothing about. If the user who made the edit reads this, please register so we can more easily work together to improve Wikipedia. Sidefall (talk) 22:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Apart from the Traditional Anglican Communion, the article should really consider verifying whether groups within the Anglican Church of Southern Africa have ever sought a similar canonical structure to the proposed personal ordinariates. ADM (talk) 18:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

message: While not supporting the blessing of same-sex unions, the Anglican Church of Southern Africa seems to be on his way to recognize the moral validity of same-sex relationships, based on South Africa law that allows same-sex marriage . This source is from 2009, so any new developments in this question should be added, since they have a great role in the future of the Anglican Communion. It should be noticed that Desmond Tutu stance on the total validity of same-sex unions and non-celibate clergy is his own personal stance, there are certainly many disagreeing voices in the Anglican Church in Southern Africa.Mistico (talk) 17:14, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Other important question is the possible partition of the Anglican Church in Southern Africa into several national or regional churches, like it already happened in other parts of Africa. Not only because this church is basically the Church of South Africa, as also the general tendency is to create national churches in Africa, so it would make sense the creation of national churches in Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique, and Namibia - Angola. From what I have read there are also many voices in these countries and not only in South Africa more in agreement with the Anglican realignment movement then with the unorthodox stances of the Anglican Church in Southern Africa.Mistico (talk) 17:22, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible Partition

message: Need to mention that Bishop A.H. Zulu was the first Black Bishop in South Africa! I may have missed it, but I do not see him mentioned even ONCE on this page. Without him being made Bishop in 1960, there would be no Bishop Tutu or current ArchBishop Thabo Makgoba. They materialized from some past seed. Of course they would have come about sometime eventually, but it is important to include all facts in trusted Wikipedia! transferred from article space: by IdreamofJeanie (talk) 14:52, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: See Alphaeus Zulu. The ordination and consecration of straight black men was never controvesial (women and gay people have been and remain controvesial) so I suspect that is why it is not felt neccessary to specifically mention the first black bishop.
