Kikuyu Federation Scheme Reconsidered
By Editor
The archbishop of Canterbury has decided adversely to instituting impeachment proceedings against the bishops of Uganda and Mombassa, Church of England prelates in East Africa who were charged with heresy and schism because of their action at the Kikuyu conference last June. As set forth in an article in our last week's issue, an attempt was made at that time to unite the Protestant denominations against the increasing power of the Roman Catholics in East Africa. The consultative body of bishops of the Church of England which meets in July will be asked to decide whether the Kikuyu scheme for a federation of Protestant missionary societies is in opposition to the principles of the church order.
