+Peter Akinola, Primate of the Church of Nigeria, and majordomo of the current coup attempt by the Global South Primates of the Anglican Communion, showed a little more of his cards recently in the response to the listen process currently underway in the Communion. He fully supports the anti-gay legislation currently under consideration in the Nigerian legislature. This repugnant bill would imprison persons for homosexual behavior. Can anyone in the US, no matter how conservative, honestly want this guy as their spiritual father in God.

Word from the home office...
Our Bishop and Bishop-elect have both written statements concerning the most recent HOB's meeting.
Read Ken's statement here...
Read Tom's statement here...
There have been other Bishop bloggings as well. Often I'd not list them here as they are out of our jurisdiction, but I commend Bishop Howe of Central Florida, and his comments. Although one of the more conservative members, his remarks about the meeting should be noted. Read him here...

Stephen Bates with commentary on HOB's Meeting...
Stephen Bates, writer for the British paper the Guardian, has this to say..
In the late 1970s, when New York City was on the verge of bankruptcy and appealing for financial help from federal funds, President Gerald Ford told the city he would not bail it out, prompting a famous Daily News headline - Ford to City: Drop Dead. Well, in rather more polite language, that's just about what the bishops of the US Episcopal church have said to Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Sermon from Closing of the House of Bishops Spring Meeting
Check out the full text of +Katerine's sermon here.
Some Clarity in the Midst of the Storm
The House of Bishops should be applauded for the work of their meeting this week in Texas. Their first response to the Primate's February 2007 statement is listed here. It is clear and concise and demonstrates a level of leadership not seen from the House in recent years. A tip of the biretta to our Presiding Bishop, +Katherine. As usual, I don't agree with some of the material, but that matters little in that I have a great deal of respect for them in this difficult time. They are proving an anchor in the storm, just as their apostolic ministry demands...
The House of Bishops word to the Church for Easter is here.
Check out analysis from a centrist friend, Father Jones here.
I continue to pray for our Church, but as our Bishops have made clear, its time to get down to the business of mission...
