Fort Worth objects, but not rejects, the consecration of Rose Okeno: Will maintain fellowship with the Anglican Church of Kenya

Editor’s note: The Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth (ACNA) released a resolution today, affirming its opposition to the consecration of women to the episcopate, and voiced it’s objections to the consecration of Rose Okeno of the Diocese of Butere in the Anglican Church of Kenya last week. Women bishops were not second order issues, the standing committee explained, but matters “necessary to salvation”. Fort Worth’s response was not to break relations with their GAFCON brethren who had consecrated women bishops, but “in an effort to strengthen and not to whither our bonds of affection, we also wish to record our strong objection” to their consecration.
