James Tengatenga

James Tengatenga (born 7 April 1958) is a Malawian Anglican bishop and theologian. As an Anglican leader in the Global South—and as a member and later chairman of the Anglican Consultative Council—he was known for attempting to hold provinces of the Anglican Communion together amid the Anglican realignment and controversies over LGBT clergy in Anglicanism. He was the bishop of Southern Malawi in the Church of the Province of Central Africa from 1998 to 2013, when he was appointed to a deanship at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, United States. This appointment was controversially rescinded by Dartmouth president Philip J. Hanlon over comments Tengatenga had made years before criticizing the consecration of Bishop Gene Robinson, an openly gay man. Tengatenga was later appointed to a post at the School of Theology at Sewanee: The University of the South.
