Anglican Anti-Gay Showdown Turns Violent In Zimbabwe

http://www.365gay.com/Newscon08/02/020408zang.htm

wo churchgoers were assaulted when thugs aligned to a dissident bishop attempted to prevent his successor from being installed in Zimbabwe's Anglican cathedral.

Bishop Nolbert Kunonga was dethroned when he split from Anglicanism over the row involving gay clergy and set up his own dissident church seizing the Cathedral of St Mary and All Saints and its contents.

Last week Zimbabwe's highest court ruled that the church synod was within its rights to remove Kunonga and that the property belonged to the Anglican Church not the former bishop and his followers.

The court said that Kunonga could not block the installation of the new bishop. Sebastian Bakare.
