Archbishop Emmanuel Mbona Kolini (born Belgian Congo, 1945) is a Congolese-Rwandan Anglican priest. He was the second Primate of the Anglican Church of Rwanda, from 1998 to 2011. He is married and a father of eight children.

He worked as a primary school teacher and headmaster in some refugee schools in Bunyoro, Uganda. He has a degree in Theology from the Virginia Theological University, in the United States.
Kolini was ordained an Anglican priest in 1969. He would be consecrated Assistant Bishop of Bukavu, Zaire, in 1980.[1] He was Bishop of the Diocese of Katanga, in Zaire, from 1986 to 1997. Kolini was called to be the second Primate of the Anglican Church of Rwanda, in 1998, being also Bishop of the Diocese of Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.
He had an important role in the pacification of the post-genocidal Rwanda. He was also a leading name in the Anglican realignment movement, as a member of the Global South (Anglican). On April 20, 2010, at the GAFCON meeting in Singapore, he called for a new Anglican Ecumenical Council, modeled by first Ecumenical Councils of the Christian Church.[2] Archbishop Kolini stated that: "We are standing at the crossroads. I say let my people go. This is the 4th trumpet call. The Holy Spirit led the first Council of Jerusalem. He will lead ours. We have what the biblical structure offers us we have the tradition of 2000 years." He expressed his full support for a renewed Anglican Communion: "Moses led God's people out of Egypt (Exodus 3). Now is a time for bold action. Let my people go. We need to declare to the world let my people go. We need a renewed communion, dependent on the Holy Spirit not resolutions. Singapore is a new Sinai."
