"...those who have remained faithful to scripture..."? Both sides are faithful to scripture. It all depends how you read and interpret scripture. Is this a surprise to you? How do you think that the myriad of Christian denominations appeared? It is because of each denomination's unique interpretation of scripture. Think about that before you congratulate yourself on being "faithful to scripture."

Your article states, "The archbishop of Nigeria, the Most Rev. Peter Akinola, considered the most powerful leader in the Anglican Communion, said the absence of even one province from the meeting would indicate that the Lambeth Conference "effectively ceases to be an Instrument of Unity. First of all, Akinola is a prominent person, not necessarily "powerful., " nor a "leader." He has numbers, but no money and no moral authority anywhere but in Nigeria. Second, the absence of "even one province" from Lambeth means that one province isn't there and that province is considered out of the Anglican Communion. Where does Akinola get these sweeping statements? He, being black, among all people, should understand what it means to be excluded, disenfranchised and abused. Jesus made no statement about homosexuals. But Jesus did speak rather pointedly concerning Pharisees that parade around displaying their so-called virtues. There is nothing in Akinola that reminds me of Jesus either in word or deed. The "powerful leader" should spend more time on his knees asking forgiveness from God for the suffering and injustice he has caused his brothers and sisters, and less time giving speeches and looking for photo oportunities.

Akinola said that if the Episcopal Church gets back in line and gives up its liberal agenda, CANA will be no more? Who does Akinola think he is? I'll tell you who he is: here is a man with a serious homophobic problem and an uncontrollable lust for power. CANA will be no more? Right!! Then who will Akinola be: ordinary Archbishop from a third world country? Right again!! I do not think this man is in touch with himself.

Now that the 21 priests are out of TEC's (The Episcopsl Church's) Pension Fund, I hope that they enjoy the benefits of Akinola's African third world pension fund.
