The meeting of the Standing Committee of the 23rd Session of the Diocesan Synod of the Anglican Church, scheduled for this Tuesday, has been cancelled. The body’s only agenda item for this meeting was the debate on the letter from the bishops of the Anglican Church in Mozambique and Angola, who called for the immediate resignation of Dom Carlos Matsinhe from the position of Archbishop.

In a letter, the bishops of the Anglican Church in Mozambique and Angola expressed their discontent with the leadership of Dom Carlos Matsinhe.

The clerics’ discontent arises after the announcement of the results of the local elections by the CNE, an institution led by Carlos Matsinhe.

Days before the announcement of the results by the CNE, the bishops of the Anglican Church in Mozambique and Angola appealed to the president of the CNE, Dom Carlos Matsinhe, to choose the path of truth.

Interestingly, after the results were announced, members of the Anglican episcopate in Mozambique and Angola asked Carlos Matsinhe, their leader, to urgently step down as Archbishop.

Carlos Matsinhe is president of the National Elections Commission (CNE) of Mozambique and several entities have already demanded his resignation from this post, in the context of the contestation – by the opposition and various institutions – of the electoral results announced by that electoral body.
