Pakistani Bishops Grieve Over Welsh Archbishop Appointment
Faith Facts
- Pakistani Anglican bishops have voiced sorrow over the elevation of a lesbian archbishop in Wales.
- The bishops emphasized the biblical foundation of Christian unity and the potential global consequences of departing from scriptural teaching.
- Church leaders urged repentance, prayer, and unity, maintaining hope for gospel witness worldwide.
Christian leaders in Pakistan have written an open letter expressing heartfelt grief over the appointment of Rt Rev Cherry Vann, an openly homosexual archbishop, in Wales. They highlighted that such decisions deeply affect believers, especially in nations where Christians already face adversity and scriptural teaching forms the cornerstone of unity.
The Pakistani bishops clarified their message was not rooted in animosity but in sincere concern for theological fidelity and Christian mission.
“Our partnership as global Anglicans is built on shared beliefs; when those foundations shift, our fellowship is shaken,” they stated.
Other prominent Anglican leaders called the appointment an act of apostasy and a rejection of longstanding Christian teaching on marriage.
They concluded their letter by urging humility and ongoing prayer, affirming that their commitment to Christian unity and witness remains strong.

Islamic practices gain ground in Britain as Premier League games halt for Ramadan fasts, echoing accommodations in workplaces and public spaces.
Christian heritage fades with relaxed Sunday laws, redefined marriage, and ignored biblical values, urging the Church to boldly defend truth.
No neutral culture exists; nations glorify God or idols, demanding Christians fight as ancestors did against slavery and moral decay.
Believers, reclaim fighting spirit rooted in Scripture—pray, proclaim Gospel publicly, and resist Islamization to preserve faith, family, and freedom for generations.

- Forced marriages of Christian, Hindu girls; Ahmadi mosques destroyed by mobs.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom warns that Pakistan’s religious freedom deteriorated in 2025 through harsh blasphemy laws targeting Christians, Hindus, and Ahmadis.
Mob violence surged, with attacks like a Christian’s throat slit over a textbook and vigilante killings refusing conversion.
Underage girls from minority families faced abductions, forced Islam conversions, and marriages, shattering Christian homes and Biblical family values.
USCIRF demands sanctions, asset freezes, and visa bans on Pakistani officials enabling such persecution against God’s people.
“China arrests underground church members, mob violence is on the rise in India and Pakistan leading to attacks on religious minorities and the destruction of their homes, Burma’s military bombs houses of worship, and Tajikistan denies parents the right to teach their children about faith,” said Vicky Hartzler, chair of the USCIRF.
“Religious freedom is a universal human right for all,” Mahmood said. “Government repression and non-state actor violence are on the rise in many places around the world, often devastating targeted religious communities and taking innocent lives.”
Stand firm for persecuted believers as Scripture commands defending the oppressed; pray for Pakistan’s minorities and U.S. leaders to protect freedom rooted in God’s truth.
