Episcopal Church Faces New Gay Challenge
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/06/060905episcopal.htm

Any sign that traditionalists in the worldwide Anglican faith might abandon their threat to break away over the issue gay clergy evaporated Thursday.

Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria upped the ante, making new demands on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada.

Nigeria has the largest body of Anglicans outside of Britain. Akinola, who is also the Chair of the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa, has been waging war on the two North American branches of Anglicanism since the election of Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire (story) and a decision by a Canadian diocese to bless same-sex marriages (story).

1. to others in my church ......
...... Grow the hell up. Look if you kick out all the gays where will the organists,
choir directors, and wedding planners come from?

This shit pisses me off ..... one of the national leaders in the anti gay movement
...... a bishop ...... has a gay son and did a wedding for a closeted nationally known
repug who now works for *** broadcasting.

Grow up!
