The Anglican Church in West Africa is rarely in the news, and that's usually because the faithful tend to go on without much fanfare or drama. But that's not the case with the church in The Gambia. Over the past year, there's been intense ungodly infighting and politicking that would put Machiavelli to shame, over who would be the next Anglican Bishop of Gambia. After an acrimonious meeting that many say would've driven out the Holy Spirit, the Diocese of Gambia finally settled on a young Ghanaian priest, St. Obed Arist Kojo Baiden. Focus on Africa's Esau Williams has been speaking to Bishop-elect Baiden, and began by asking for his reaction to being elected. (Image: Rev. St. Obed Arist Kojo Baiden, Bishop-Elect of The Gambia.
