 HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - African Anglican bishops have issued a message to Zimbabweans that was broadly supportive of the government, sharply contrasting with an earlier call from Catholic leaders for President Robert Mugabe to step down.
An Anglican pastoral letter released to coincide with this week's independence celebrations acknowledged Zimbabwe's economic crisis "rendered the ordinary Zimbabwean unable to make ends meet."
The 14 Anglican bishops blamed the worsening plight of poor Zimbabweans largely on Western economic sanctions.
