Josiah Idowu-Fearon, the Anglican Archbishop of Kaduna Diocese, is a priest with a difference. In the first place, he has a doctorate degree in Islamic studies, with special interest in Christian-Muslim relations This guy's got one foot on the dock (Christianity) and one foot in a boat(Islam). He couldn't made a choice, so he convinced himself no choice was necessary. He concluded the two opposite religious beliefs served to keep him from being immersed in water - failing to perceive the limitations of the boat, when compared to the greater protection of the dock.
Reminds me of Alan Watts. He was an Anglican priest who during the '60's turned comparative religions philosopher - making a successful business shilling the similarities of Oriental and Occidental religions. He was the original Confusist (poetic license used in joining the words Confused and Confucianism ). Mr. Watts was to the flower children of the '60's and '70's what Karol Wojtyla to his shame, tried to be, within the Roman Rite Church during his pontificate.
Pray for this man.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. -- 2 Peter 2:20,21
When I wrote "....Pray for this man...." in my previous post, I was refering to Josiah Idowu-Fearon. However, he, Alan Watts and Karol Wojtyla share the same folly; they were, each of them, consumed by the cardinal sin of pride about the true path to the Blessed Trinity.
