African Anglican Archbishops yesterday rejected the apology by the American Episcopal Church over the ordination of a homosexual bishop and the wedding of gay couples.

The clerics, representing 50 million faithful, asked their American counterparts to repent instead.

"They have only apologised and not repented," said Dr Reverend Bernard Malango, the Archbishop of Zambia.

"Apology does not make sense to us, the biblical word is repentance," said Kenya's Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi.

The Episcopalians last week met in Salt Lake City and issued an apology to the Anglican Churches 'for the hurt' caused by the ordination of Dr Gene Robinson, a homosexual cleric and blessing of same sex marriages.
