Anglican Communion faces splits over church unity as conservative leaders meet in Nigeria; first female Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally, now in office.
Gafcon, a conservative Anglican group, dissolved its Primates Council and established the Global Anglican Council, aiming to lead the church through a new structure. Rwandan Archbishop Laurent Mbanda was elected chair, signaling a potential shift away from the traditional Anglican Communion led by Canterbury. The move reflects ongoing divisions over LGBTQ+ inclusion and church governance.
