The Anglican Church of Kenya has announced plans to install an American priest to oversee congregations in the US.
The controversial developments will reignite rumours of schism within the Communion, as the Episcopal Church in the USA becomes increasingly isolated due to its liberal stance on homosexuality within the Church.
The new plans by the African Church will see a third "missionary" group established in the US, made up of disillusioned American Anglicans hoping to be under the care of Church leaders with a more traditional faith in Scripture.
