Nazir-Ali converts to Catholicism

Dr Michael Nazir-Ali

Anglican Bishop, Dr Michael Nazir-Ali has left the Church of England and will be ordained into the Catholic priesthood.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has announced that he will join what is known as the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, a group set up by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009 for Anglican exiles.

Dr Nazir-Ali has been a leading figure in the Gafcon movement which describes itself as a global family of authentic Anglicans standing together to retain and restore the Bible to the heart of the Anglican Communion. He was President of Gafcon GB and Europe (GBE) (formally Gafcon UK), since the formation of the regional branch in 2016 and has now resigned.
