“On behalf of the Gafcon movement and the Anglican Church of Rwanda, I extend my heartfelt condolences to those closest to Pope Francis, and to the many Roman Catholics within our regions whom we know and hold in deep respect.

His life of quiet humility and steadfast service to the poor and marginalised leaves a lasting witness in our world.

We join with others around the world in giving thanks for his life and praying for comfort for all who mourn his passing.

The Most Rev’d Dr Laurent Mbanda
Chairman, Gafcon Primates Council
Thursday 24th April 2025.”
