According to a news release from the House of Bishops of the Province of the Anglican Church of Rwanda, Rev. Dr. Todd Hunter, Rev. Canon Doc Loomis and Rev. Silas Tak Yin Ng, will be consecrated in Sept. 2009. Presenting candidates to fellow bishops, the Rt. Rev. Charles H. Murphy, III, Anglican Mission Chairman, said these new bishops would enhance the expansion of the Anglican Mission, particularly in the western regions of the US and in Canada. The House of Bishops responded to the nominations with a unanimous election and an official release announcing their decision. “Once again, we are grateful for the consistent trust and support demonstrated by the Rwanda House of Bishops,”said Murphy in the news release. He continued to say, “As the Anglican Mission grows and expands west of the Mississippi, additional bishops will assist us in our mission to reach those who do not yet know the saving power of Jesus Christ. Todd, Doc and Silas are men of faith, vision and passion, and they also have a strong track record of proven results. Murphy added, “I have no doubt that each will add unique gifts to the Council of Bishops and will work effectively to expand the Kingdom of God in our missionary movement.” The Anglican Mission’s Council of Bishops is charged with providing oversight to clergy, congregations and Mission Networks; casting the “big picture” vision for the Anglican Mission; and ensuring theological alignment with historic Christianity. The release said the work of the Council of Bishops represents a careful balance of oversight between “what already is” within the Mission, and an ongoing commitment to both envision and implement “what is yet to be.” More details about the bishops’ consecration will be announced when arrangements are finalized.
