So,  I'm fairly sure that the GAFCON stance has little to do with  popular
pressure in Islamic regions, where people are too busy struggling  to
survive and where terrorism has become a constant  threat.>>>>>>
 
 
I've heard the story over and over that Islam is a better fit for
converting Africans from undeveloped countries than is Christianity
in its liberal version of sexuality because, as you say, many, if not
most traditional African communities are homophobic.  Maybe 
this line of reasoning is wrong, but it is widespread.
 
 
So by disassociating themselves from TEC, etc., someone like ++Uganda
can say his version of Anglican Christianity is equally compatible,
at least in the matter of human sexuality.  This is not a sweeping  
statement
on all the moral/political/social aspects of those communities.
 
That Africa was evangelized by a rigid Evangelical Anglican stripe  is
unfortunate and adds to the line of division from the Western  Anglican
churches.  I am happy the Evangelicals did their proselytizing, but  it
is too bad other mainstream Anglican viewpoints weren't added to the
mix.
 
Just sayin'
