Excommunicated Anglican bishop Nolbert Kunonga says his church will abide by the court ruling to surrender all Anglican Church property to the Church of the Province of Central Africa (CPCA).
He however said his church will continue with its operations at various locations around the country.
Reverend Admire Chisango, who is the church's spokesperson, told journalists in Harare that the Kunonga led church respects the judgement by the court but stressed that the ruling does not mean his church is disbanded.
"The Anglican Church of Zimbabwe is still alive and kicking but continues to differ with CPCA on their doctrine which supports homosexuality," said Reverend Chisango.
He dismissed all rape allegations laid on the Kunonga led church, describing them as unfounded.
Probed by reporters over his personal feeling over the unfolding events in the church, Archibishop Kunonga said he had delegated all the duties to his juniors.
The Supreme Court of Zimbabwe last month ruled in favour of the CPCA led by Bishop Chad Gandiya and ordered the Kunonga group to surrender all church property.
