Godfrey Mhogolo

June 14, 1950 (age 63)

Mhogolo was ordained a bishop in 1989 for the Anglican Diocese of Central Tanganyika, in Tanzania. He died in Johannesburg, South Africa from a severe lung infection. Anne Makinda, speaker of the Tanzanian National Assembly, "said the late Bishop Mhogolo was the friend of everyone and that his death was a big shock." Mhogolo was a moderate on the issue of homosexuality compared to many African Anglicans who strongly condemned homosexuality or even denied its existence in Africa. He sought to avoid a schism in the church over the issue. In 2007 he wrote that homosexuality as an issue "is not fundamental to the Christian faith, although many try to make it that way".
