Biography

Ande obtained his doctorate from University of Birmingham.^[3] Since 2006, Ande has also been bishop of the Diocese of Aru in the northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, where conflict between DRC troops and Lord's Resistance Army fighters saw destruction of schools and displacement of thousands of Anglicans.^[4]

He was a member of the Inter-Anglican Standing Commission on Unity, Faith and Order and supported efforts to create an "Anglican covenant" to avoid a rupture in the Anglican Communion.^[5] Upon his installation as primate, he was expected to continue the Congolese church's affiliation with the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans movement within the Anglican realignment.^[6]

Notes

1. According to Western news sources, he goes by his post-surname of "Ande" rather than his surname "Titre."^[1] Due to confusion over Congolese naming customs, Western outlets may not order his names consistently.^[2]
