[edit] Name
OK. I see a problem here. Within the next couple of years, this is going to be the name of the church. Which means that we'll want to move the page here. But we won't be able to b/c a page (albeit a redirect) exists here? I myself am an overzealous creator of redirect pages, but this could prove difficult. We'll have to get it deleted before the move, won't we? Carolynparrishfan 01:39, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- No. If Article A (in this case, Anglican Church of Southern Africa) contains only a redirect to Article B (in this case, Church of the Province of Southern Africa), and there are no other revisions in the history of Article A, then the software will allow you to move Article B to Article A (and Article B will become a redirect to Article A). See WP:MOVE#Moving over a redirect for more information. - htonl 21:35, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
They changed the name in September (link is in the article). I'm in the process of fixing the links.Rockhopper10r 00:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Uniform format proposal
A proposal is being floated at the project page that there be a standard format for organising each article about national provinces of the Anglican Communion, including this one. Please consider participating in the straw vote and discussion. Cheers! Fishhead64 21:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Correction to Article on Anglican Church of Southern African
The Article on the Anglican Church of Southern African indicates that in 1870 the Church of England in South Africa (CESA) formed a break away group of churches/congregations. This in incorrect. In 1870 Bishop Gray called a synod meeting of the churches in the Southern African region at which the Church of the Province of Southern Africa (CPSA) now know the Anglican Church of Southern Africa was formed. Those churces/congregations which decided to remain part of the Church of England and not become part of the CPSA became known as the Church of England in South Africa (CESA). Thus the CPSA broke away from the Church of England to form a new Anglican province and although in the following years the Archbiship of Canterbury did not recongnises CESA it was in fact the CPSA and not the CESA who broke from the Church of England. One additional note as well as good relations with Anglicans in Sydney, Australia CESA also has good relationship with many evangleical Anglicans in England, many part of Africa and South America. If you want to read more on the history of CESA then read the book "A Candle Burns in Africa" by Tony Ive which was published in 1992 and can be purchased online at the Church Society online store on their website.

[edit] May 2008
An unregistered user made a change to this article, relating to the matter raised above. The same user made additions to John Stott and Martyn Lloyd-Jones, which I reverted as they were unsourced contentious material. I am reluctant to do the same here due to the need to maintain NPOV on what sounds like a delicate issue that I know nothing about. If the user who made the edit reads this, please register so we can more easily work together to improve Wikipedia. Sidefall (talk) 22:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
