#1 Not a good idea. There are 36.7m Anglicans in the 11 provinces in Africa, who have been experiencing explosive growth over the past decade or more, at a time when wealth has been pouring in from disaffected Anglican, ex-Episcopalian conservatives from the US. They draw from all economic classes in the continent.

The Anglican bishops and Archbishops in Africa now have the power of princes, yet wield that power judiciously. But were they to turn on someone persecuting Anglicans in Africa, they could have a ginormous, and fairly well armed army overnight.

Even Muslim Arabs are starting to tread carefully around them. To some extent, they were likely involved in supporting the Christians of South Sudan.
