ARCHBISHOP MALANGO MAKES WELCOME VISIT TO ORTHODOX PARISH

By David W. Virtue

ROSEMONT, PA — The Primate of Central Africa, Archbishop Bernard Malango, visited the Church of the Good Shepherd and was warmly received by the Anglo-Catholic congregation.

Accompanied by the Rt. Rev. Edwin Barnes, retired Bishop of Richborough, Malango spoke of the extraordinary challenges facing the Anglican Communion and emphasized global solidarity with traditionalist congregations.

Because of his role on the Lambeth Commission, Malango refrained from performing episcopal acts, asking Bishop Barnes to conduct confirmations instead.

He addressed financial sacrifices faced by provinces refusing funds from churches that support same-sex agendas, stressing faithfulness over material security.

Clergy present expressed gratitude for the archbishop’s support and for the encouragement offered during a period of ecclesial tension.
