Two more Nigerian churches
Truro and Falls Church have voted to go with Archbishop Akinola.
They haven't left; the church heirarchy is out of communion with them, and they are acknowledging the fact. And I understand the political expediency of the Nigerian Connection. But I have issues with Akinola. It's not that he's theologically anti-gay (not my battle, and it's arguably his job), but that he's politically so. He's come out in support of a bill that would ban formal association of gay people, and the possession of gay erotica. In a country where a majority wants to impose Sharia on the whole country, does he want to play along with that? And can any libertarian (or any American) support somebody who seeks to curtail freedom of association and of the press?
