Archbishop Akinola lays down the law. He's taking Frank Griswold to the woodshed.
We applaud the admirable integrity and loyalty of those gallant 45 Bishops of ECUSA who have refused to succumb to the pressure for compromise. In the language of the Bible, they have refused to bow their knees to baal. We assure them, and all the faithful within ECUSA, of our unflinching solidarity and fullest cooperation. We shall continue to be in full communion with them and we will do all that is necessary to actualise this bond in practical terms. Bravo, Archbishop Akinola, for recognizing these brave individuals who stood their ground, in the face of adversity.
I am not familiar with how the Episcopal / Anglican church is set up but have followed this story all week. There was mention that the Nigerian Communion might break away from ECUSA. How do the 45 US bishops mentioned, align themselves with the Nigerian Communion? (Apologies if my terminology is incorrect.)
