Ugandan Bishops have resolved to boycott the 2020
Lambeth Conference, in protest of the endorsement of same-sex marriages and the admission of gay clergy by Canterbury, the seat of Anglican Church worldwide.
The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda The Most Rev
Stanley Ntagali revealed the decision during the 3rd international gathering of the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON), now taking place in Jerusalem,
Israel.

The pronouncement is a blow to attempts by the
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby to unite the Anglican Communion ahead of 2020's Lambeth Conference, in London. It comes at the backdrop of divisions between conservatives and liberals in the worldwide Communion over the issue of homosexuality.
