The Anglican Church of Province of Central Africa has excommunicated former Bishop for the Diocese of Upper Shire (Adus), Brighton Vita Malasa.
In a letter, the Church discloses that not only the former bishop but also all those who defied the order of the church in the long protracted disagreements with the higher orders of the church have also been excommunicated.
For a while, there has been a wrangle in Adus where some Christians were demanding the resignation of Malasa following mismanagement of the church, making unilateral decisions when transferring the clergy, and mismanagement of funds.
Malasa has since described the move as laughable and strange arguing it will be costly and damaging to the Church.
Meanwhile, the Anglican Church has appointed Rev. Canon Grant Timpuza Tebulo, as Vicar General of Adus.
