With Sarah Mullally now Archbishop of Canterbury, the Church of Nigeria has declared spiritual independence from Canterbury, prioritising fidelity to God’s Word over revisionist innovations.
The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), the world’s largest Anglican province, has formally declared spiritual independence from the Church of England.
The decision follows the appointment of Bishop Sarah Mullally as Archbishop of Canterbury, the first woman to hold the office and an outspoken supporter of same-sex marriage.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Archbishop Henry Ndukuba, Primate of the Church of Nigeria, called the elevation of Mullally — who has also voiced support for open borders, Black Lives Matter, climate change, and abortion — “the final confirmation of moral decay within the leadership of the Church of England.”
The declaration asserts that the Nigerian church will no longer recognise Canterbury’s authority in doctrinal or spiritual matters, marking a decisive break with Western Anglican structures.
“This election is a double jeopardy,” Archbishop Ndukuba added, “disregarding the conviction of the majority of Anglicans and promoting same-sex marriage.”
He urged members to remain steadfast in upholding Scripture, calling on Christians worldwide to resist “ungodly teachings that compromise the faith” (Jude 1:3).
