"she did mention her church was now associated with a Church in Africa. Whatever that means."

Truro and Falls Church have joined the Nigerian Church under Bishop Akinola - who, it is reported, favors imprisonment for gays, and the defense is that he has to placate Muslim leaders in Nigeria.

I am still a mainline Episcopalian, and while my church is sorting out its issues I will not leave it. I do not think my church should be in the business of placating Muslims, and I am not Nigerian.

Think about who's doing the reporting for a minute -- I believe that slander about restaurants etc. comes direct from old Louie Crew.

(And imprisonment for open homosexual conduct in the streets is still the law over here, you know. Not so long ago it was a capital offense, drawing the death penalty - something of which Thomas Jefferson approved, BTW.)

I would wait and read the law itself plus Abp Akinola's actual statement, before I took the say-so of people who are anxious to put the Nigerian church down. I am not exaggerating when I say that the revisionists in ECUSA will put about any slander, no matter how untrue.
