In his official statement afterwards, he declared that "The consecration as bishop of Gene Robinson, a man living openly in a homosexual relationship with another man in blatant disregard for the teaching of Holy Scripture and the position of the Anglican Communion (expressed in Lambeth resolution 1;10 of 1998), is not an action to be celebrated, but a deep and grievous error to be mourned."
He also stated that "We want to emphasise that our protest is not against homosexually inclined persons, but rather against a section of Church leadership which, through this consecration, is attempting to change the fundamental teachings of the Christian faith."
He hosted the event, which was attended by a retired Archbishop of Kenya, Benjamin Nzimbi, one of the GAFCON founding primates.
