    Clergy from a conservative grouping of the Anglican Church are meeting this week in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, to choose a rival to the first female Archbishop of Canterbury. The UK's Sarah Mullally will officially be installed as the leader of the world's Anglican communion later this month. BBC’s Global Religion Correspondent Lebo Diseko is in Abuja and has been finding out how her appointment has divided opinion across the global Anglican community. Many conservative Christians believe that only men should be consecrated as bishops.
