Absolutely. This is an oblique reference to Archbishop Akinola of Nigeria, who is probably the most outspoken of the "Global South" (Africa, South America and Southeast Asia), which constitutes something like 90% of world-wide Anglicanism -- and which is highly critical of the misadventures of ECUSA and its friends.

I understood the reference to Nigeria. But then, I know something of what has been happening in the Anglican churches (thanks largely to the articles you have been posting).

What is puzzling is Rev. Young's attempt to link unilateralism in foreign policy and homosexuality in the church. It is not clear what the attitudes of "conservatives" toward foreign policy have to do with the attitudes of "people in the church."

Of course, to a Leftist, everything is political and conservative is a general-purpose dirty word. Do you happen to know which way Rev. Young leans politically?
