Anglican Schism: Nigeria and the USA.

Time was when the West sent missionaries to Africa. Now the Church of Nigeria is sending missionaries to America.

In a direct response to the ordination of a homosexual priest in the USA, the Nigerian Anglican church, which had already effectively seceded from Canterbury has consecrated its own bishop and is offering a haven for orthodox Anglicans in America and Canada (see previous post today) through the Convocation for Anglicans in North America.

So, orthodox US and Canadian Anglicans are being offered a viable episcopal alternative within the Anglican communion by the Church of Nigeria. That is the mess the Archbishop of Canterbury is next month going to America to try to sort out.
