	Peter Akinola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Most Reverend Peter Jasper Akinola (born 1944) is the current Anglican Primate of Nigeria.
		As of November 2003, Akinola is the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, an ecumenical body brining together Protestant, Catholic, and African independent Christians.
		At first, Akinola's fire was concentrated on the Churches of the USA and Canada, and he succesfully backed their suspension from the Anglican Consultative Council's meeting in Nottingham in 2005, which he personally attended.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Anglicans fear African rift over homosexuality
		The strong response from Archbishop Peter Akinola, Anglican primate of Nigeria, signaled a rough road ahead as the archbishop of Canterbury and other leaders of the 77-million-member Anglican Communion seek adoption of the report dealing with the U.S. Episcopal Church's controversial elevation of a gay priest to bishop of New Hampshire.
		Akinola, whose 17-million-member Anglican Church of Nigeria is the largest Anglican body outside the Church of England, wields considerable influence.
		Akinola was particularly upset by the recommendation that conservative bishops, including himself and other Africans, stop claiming jurisdiction over conservative American parishes seeking help.

		Archbishop Akinola is planning to bring the matter to a meeting of Anglican primates from the global South (Africa, South East Asia and South America) in September.
		Peter Akinola’s goal is to have the Church of England suspended from the ACC, joining the Episcopal Church of the USA and the Anglican Church of Canada, who reluctantly agreed to withdraw from the ACC earlier this year.
		If Akinola were to achieve his goal, the Archbishop of Canterbury would not be able to chair the meeting and none of the CofE/ECUSA/Canada delegates would be able to vote on their future in the Communion.

	Religious turf wars
		PETER JENSEN: The question is that he first of all was married, has two children, has been divorced from his wife and then has moved in with a man. I compare this with what the Bible teaches and I see it as inconsistent with what the Bible teaches, particularly for a Christian leaders.
		PETER JENSEN: If the worst came to the worst, what would likely to be happen is that a network of evangelical churches, I wouldn't call them Anglican, would emerge right around Australia and the church in Sydney would be interested in fostering and helping such churches.
		PETER JENSEN: My friends in the Episcopal Church in the US tell me that the leadership of the church at the moment came into their own in the '60s and '70s in the height of the civil rights movement.

		Peter Carnley: I think it is an attempt to try and draw the boundaries between autonomy, the autonomy of independent national churches, and interdependence that is a part of intercommunion.
		Peter Carnley: Yes, eventually, on behalf of a national church, but it would have to be enshrined in the legislation of the national church, it would have to be warranted by the general Synod in our case, for example.

		Akinola heads the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa (CAPA), which is slated to meet shortly after the Windsor Report is made public.
		Akinola said his comments are based on the hope that the Windsor Report will include a proposal made by African bishops that would give ECUSA three months to repent and if the church's leaders did not, expel it from the Anglican Communion.
		Akinola said that the proposal gives the local bishop authority to determine who will provide pastoral care for those who object to the actions and views of the bishop.

		It was no small matter, then, when Akinola went public this past summer with blistering denunciations of proposals to consecrate openly gay bishops and to sanctify gay marriage.
		Akinola thus came of age in an era of enormous optimism about a nation that had the potential, because of its vast oil reserves and its surging population, to be one of the most powerful countries in Africa—indeed, possibly a world power.
		When Akinola speaks out, therefore, it is not because he wants to intrude on the affairs of other churches but, rather, because he feels that the very existence of Christianity in his own territory is under threat.

	titusonenine » Blog Archive » Peter Akinola says No
		Dr Akinola, has told friends that to attend the week-long gathering of primates and senior Church members would be a betrayal of his views and those of a majority of Anglicans worldwide.
		Peter Akinola may end up as the equivalent of our Archbishop of Canterbury if the Anglican Communion splits and we as orthodox Anglican Episcopalians are aligned with him and the majority of Anglicans in the world.
		It is one thing to consider homosexuality a sin, based on one’s reading of Scripture, and to preach against it, it is quite another to express the kind of hateful venom Peter Akinola has expressed and to do so while watching one’s people suffer poverty as one sits in one’s limo is atrocious.

	'Blessings' could lead to Anglican schism
		Archbishop Peter Akinola, primate of Nigeria -- which, with 17 million members, is the largest Anglican body in the world -- said in a separate letter that the diocese's action had made it "inevitable" that Nigeria would "sever communion with Bishop Ingham and the diocese of New Westminster."
		Akinola later told the BBC that he would sever ties with the Church of England, too, if it proceeded with its plans to consecrate its first openly gay bishop.
		Ingham told BC Christian News it was conservative bishops like Akinola, and not liberal bishops like himself, who were dividing the Anglican church by severing communion with his diocese.

		Archbishop Peter Akinola, Nigeria's top Anglican leader, said at a news conference in Fairfax City that his main concern is to offer an alternative for Nigerian Anglicans in the United States who feel they can no longer worship in the American Episcopal Church since it elected V. Gene Robinson bishop of New Hampshire.
		Akinola held his news conference at Truro Episcopal Church in Fairfax, a parish that has rejected Robinson's elevation and been active in establishing a network of conservative Episcopal parishes and dioceses within the denomination.
		Akinola said the church's historical approach to authority was "fractured" by Robinson's elevation and left other Anglican bishops "no choice" but to intervene to help Anglicans upset by it.
