This is a new article about a controversial subject for the Anglican Communion. I believe that it is important that Wikipedia has an article about AMiA, but the present article is wholly one-sided. This article needs to be rewritten so that it is an accurate account of events, and the views of opposing parties. Gareth Hughes 23:34, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I added the first paragraph, and removed what I regard as biased text from the end of the entry. Daniel Luechtefeld, 24 June 2005.

[edit] Original page was verbatim from AMiA website

The original text, which I edited, had apparently copied and pasted directly from the AMiA's own offical website. Daniel Luechtefeld

[edit] Completely revised

Went for a wholesale neutral treatment. Daniel Luechtefeld

[edit] Time to consider removing NPOV

It's been edited a number of times by myself and someone of a differing perspective. My opinion is that we've reached a happy medium where the NPOV flag can be lifted. Daniel Luechtefeld 23:30, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Actually, the article still seemed a bit pro-AMiA, but I've fixed that. I also cleaned up the article a bit in general and added a bit about the relationship between Rwandan clergy and AMiA clergy (notably that most AMiA clergy are Americans who've had little contact with Africa). --Zantastik talk 10:25, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I changed "nearly all AMiA clergy are Americans who have had extremely little contact with Rwanda" to "many AMiA clergy are Americans who have had extremely little contact with Rwanda," just to be fair, as most Anglican clergy I know have a lot of contact with Rwanda. Also, I'll update the "women in the priesthood" section, mentioning that there are two woman priests in the AMiA today, and they were ordained before the policy was passed.(Anglican 22:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)Anglican)

[edit] In Communion ?

I wonder if it's completely correct, in the third bullet point, to state "both the ECUSA and the AMiA are in communion with the Church of England." ? There seems to be some controversy as to whether the AMiA can be said to be "in communion" with the CoE. See the discussion on the Anglicans Online site for details. Dhuff 19:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
