[The last two paragraphs are almost an article unto themselves:

" If Francis Arinze is elected to the Chair of St. Peter, I'm not sure Nigeria could stand the shock. For it would mean that the two most important forces in worldwide Christianity, the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion, would, for all practical purposes, both be headed by Nigerians. Arinze, of course, would be the next leader of billions of Roman Catholics and Peter Akinola is rapidly becoming Archbishop of Canterbury in all but name.

"No one cares what Rowan Williams says or does about anything but Akinola's words are important and not just in Nigeria. Should push come to shove, most conservative Anglicans would enthusiastically transfer allegiance to Abuja and consign Canterbury to the ash heap of history. When one adds the fact that both men are staunch defenders of orthodox Christianity, the election of Francis Arinze and the continued increase in influence of Peter Akinola would be a blow from which western liberal Christianity might never recover."

Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

[Kolokotronis]

"Many of us believe that what we achieved in our time together was due to the work of God’s Holy Spirit and to claim otherwise is blasphemous."

Well, well, I wonder what the presiding heresiarch of ECUSA thinks of that!?

" For it would mean that the two most important forces in worldwide Christianity, the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion, would, for all practical purposes, both be headed by Nigerians. "

"When one adds the fact that both men are staunch defenders of orthodox Christianity, the election of Francis Arinze and the continued increase in influence of Peter Akinola would be a blow from which western liberal Christianity might never recover."

Couple that with around 300,000,000 Orthodox Christians and I think the fellow might have a point there!


The MP and the EP might disagree. :)

I will be appointing episcopal visitors from among already consecrated bishops to provide pastoral and episcopal oversight for those congregations already in operation and in formation. I am excited by the possibilities before us and look forward to seeing this ministry grow.

Great news. This will keep the pressure on the moderate American Bishops. (I won't call them conservatives until they prove by their actions that they are. They should be doing this, instead of following their present course of inaction.)
