ACNA Archbishop Suspended Amid Investigation
Faith Facts
- ACNA Archbishop Stephen Wood is suspended from ministry for 60 days as an investigation into abuse allegations continues.
- Church leaders emphasize the suspension does not imply guilt or innocence and is meant to aid the integrity of the process.
- The Anglican Church in North America, founded in 2009, represents over 1,000 churches committed to biblical principles.
The Archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America, Stephen Wood, has been temporarily suspended from all ministry duties while an independent inquiry investigates serious allegations against him.
This 60-day suspension, announced by ACNA leadership, was supported by five senior bishops and is meant to uphold fairness and integrity as the process unfolds.
The Right Rev. Julian M. Dobbs clarified, “This action does not determine guilt or innocence, nor does it pre-judge any allegation or future proceeding.”
Members of the Standing Committee of the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina advocated for this step, stressing the need for a process free from interference so the truth may come to light.
Last month, an article raised concerns about Wood’s conduct as rector at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, bringing allegations of sexual misconduct and financial impropriety to the forefront of the investigation.
A formal complaint, supported by four presbyters and seven lay members, prompted a board of inquiry to review these claims thoroughly.
The Most Rev. Ray Sutton announced Wood’s voluntary leave and will oversee the archbishop’s responsibilities during this season of reflection for the ACNA.
Sutton encouraged believers to lift up the church and all involved in prayer, stating, “Let us keep in mind that God works all things together for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).”
Founded in 2009, ACNA stands strong as a denomination built on fidelity to God’s Word, with a deep commitment to truth and justice as these events are prayerfully considered.
Let’s continue to pray for all affected and trust God’s wisdom to guide the church as it seeks to uphold faith, transparency, and accountability.

- Banyamulenge in Minembwe, DRC, protest incessant drone attacks and bombings killing unarmed civilians since early 2026.
- Regime enforces ethnic cleansing via sieges denying food, medicine, and essentials, plus church destructions in Uvira.
- Christian leaders and peace talks remain silent amid atrocities driven by mineral exploitation interests.
The clouds wept as Banyamulenge gathered in despair against aerial terror mirroring ancient oppressions condemned in Scripture.
Biblical justice demands believers defend these vulnerable families targeted for their land and heritage.
In a blood-soaked region, multinationals prioritize critical minerals over innocent lives sacrificed since colonial times.
God calls His people to rescue the oppressed, as Psalm 82 urges: “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.”
Faithful patriots, pray boldly for Banyamulenge freedom, amplify their voices, and press leaders for intervention upholding Christian values.

- Norse settlers established Christianity in Greenland by 1000 AD, building a cathedral in 1126.
- Rev. Hans Egede’s 1721 mission reintroduced faith to Inuit, inventing their alphabet.
- Kleinschmidt Bible, first full version in Greenlandic, published in 1900.
Christian presence flickered across Greenland’s icy vastness for centuries since Viking longboats arrived with Erik the Red.
Norse explorers from there carried the Gospel to North America’s shores, marking earliest continental witness.
Rumors of lost Catholics spurred Egede’s quest under Denmark’s king, shifting to Inuit evangelism amid ruins.
Moravians, Poul Egede, Otto Fabricius, and Danish Bible Society persisted through fires and revisions, spreading the Good News.
Celebrate this legacy, patriots: champion Bible missions to defend faith, family, and freedom worldwide.

- Villagers in Kanker District block Sambai Mandavi’s burial, demanding family reconvert to Hinduism.
- Supreme Court orders halt exhumations, yet fresh threats defy justice for tribal believers.
- 23 burial attacks in Chhattisgarh 2025 reveal systematic war on Christian dignity.
In Chhattisgarh, India, tribal extremists prevented 34-year-old Christian Sambai Mandavi’s burial after her Feb. 24 death, claiming it defiles their deities and land.
Her husband Kamlesh faces assault threats and forced exhumation if buried in Amodi village cemetery or family land.
United Christian Forum footage shows exhumations like Benur village remains cremated after 20 years, turning grief into nightmare.
Families discover empty graves or trek miles, pressured to abandon Christ for village rites.
“This incident occurs just days after the Supreme Court issued an interim order halting exhumations,” the Progressive Christian Alliance stated.
“Yet, the persistence of such threats underscores a blatant disregard for judicial directives.”
“The Chhattisgarh government’s calculated silence speaks volumes,” said John Dayal.
“This is not just about dignity in death; it’s about whether tribal Christians belong to their own villages.”
Petitions decry police complicity in desecrations, violating equality and life with dignity under God’s law.
Stand with persecuted brethren through prayer and advocacy, upholding biblical honor for the dead and freedom to worship Christ boldly.
