American boys are at the center of this crisis: they grow up to commit crime, drop out of school, and take their own lives at far higher rates than women do. From 1960 to 1996, the percentage of boys who lived without their biological father almost doubled--from 17% to 32%. Today, the Institute for Family Studies reports that "an estimated 12 million boys are growing up in families without their biological father."

History of AID: Origins and Doctrinal Position of AID

AID was formed in October 2008 following a meeting of Primates of the Global Anglican
Future Conference (GAFCON) in Jerusalem (June 2008), a year which also saw a meeting of
the Primates of the Council of Anglican Churches in Africa, and the Lambeth Conference of
Bishops.

And because of your love, not only of your husband, and of your daughter, but for all of humanity, you decide that you should become an ordained minister of the Gospel. And nothing says love of humanity so much as taking the cloth and serving as the substitute for the God-made-man who lay down His life so that we all can have new life in the God who created love and who has loved us so much that He sent His only Son to teach us His way of love.

The main thing these authors got wrong was the timing: it took far longer than they imagined. However, on almost all other fronts, their strategies were implemented and the wildly successful annual season of Pride is one of their many accomplishments.

Jesus' teachings are now increasingly cancelled - who wants the charge of 'homophobic and transphobic hate speech'? However, we need to heed the words, 'Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them' (Luke 9).

One has to give Welby credit for sheer industry and determination: he has sought out and endorsed just about every single progressive cause he can think of in recent years, which is no mean feat given the proliferation of such campaigns.

A senior Nigerian bishop recently told me that Nigerians are still concerned that no apology had yet been received for their treatment at the conference by some other bishops due to their advocacy of Lambeth 1.10 which was attributed to their being the beneficiaries of 'chicken dinners'.

The Ugandan, Nigerian, and Rwandan primates are boycotting Lambeth 2022. Other provinces may well do the same. There is uncertainty as to the precise size of these three churches. Gordon-Conwell's Center for the Study of Global Christianity led by Todd Johnson and Gina Zurlo is widely seen as the "gold standard" of religious demography. Johnson and Zurlo estimate that these churches constitute around two-thirds of African Anglicans.[i] That means they represent over a third of the entire Communion.

Their comments came as Human Rights Watch noted that many African countries relied on Russia and the Ukraine for wheat, fertiliser and vegetable oil, and that shortages were leading to a spike in food prices.

Last week the United Nations World Food Program also said the Ukraine situation was exacerbating climbing food prices and fuel shortages that had already been affected by COVID, regional conflicts and climate-related disasters in many African communities.

It made sense. If I was to grow, I needed to apply myself to doing Christian things. I had no idea, however, just how long that "to do" list of things is! It could fill a book - it does fill books, all the things I needed to do. Including being nicer, and trying harder and doing more for God - like tithing, helping the poor, teaching Sunday school, and possibly becoming a missionary in Bangladesh if we had a missionary guest preacher that Sunday!

Pride is different.

Historical perspectives on propaganda show that the end goal s compliance with the revolution.

First, I highlight the role of claims and complacency:

"Years ago ... you'd often hear their activists say, 'Why are you opposed to gay rights? This won't impact your life in any way'. Of course, they don't even try to say that anymore ... There are no longer calls for tolerance, but compliance."

In contrast to Mr Welby, an Eton-educated former oil executive, Archbishop Mbanda said he spent most of his life as a refugee in Burundi and knew how it felt to be without a home.

Archbishop Laurent Mbanda , Rwanda's Anglican leader lived in exile like many Rwandans.

He said that, like him, many Rwandans had lived in exile because of genocide in the 1990s and understood the issues faced by people fleeing their homes.

The archbishop said it was time for African churches to speak for themselves rather than wait for the Archbishop of Canterbury to tell them what to do.
