Is this the church that sparked a leadership battle? You are now standing in front of the Anglican Church in Harare. It’s a significant landmark in a country grappling with its spiritual identity. The Anglican Church in Zimbabwe has a complex history. It’s one of the largest religious institutions in the country. Did you know it actually pre-dates Zimbabwe’s independence? The Diocese of Mashonaland, the first Anglican diocese, was established in 1891. Imagine, that’s during the colonial era! The Anglican Church has seen its share of controversy. In 2012, a bitter leadership struggle erupted between two senior bishops, Reverend Chad Gandiya and Nolbert Kunonga. This division shook the church. It even led to a faction, the Anglican Reformed Church of Zimbabwe. Today, as you observe the Anglican Church in Harare, remember, it stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith. It also reflects the complex tapestry of Zimbabwe’s history and the challenges faced by its people.
