Bishop Chane Versus the Unfettered Gospel

http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3733

[VirtueOnline] March 9, 2006--On Sunday, February 26, 2006, The Washington Post published an opinion piece by the Episcopal bishop of Washington, the Rt. Reverend John Bryson Chane. Bishop Chane's article, "A Gospel of Intolerance," chastises the Anglican Archbishop of Nigeria, the Most Reverend Peter Akinola. Chane accuses Archbishop Akinola of "throwing his prestige and resources behind a new law that criminalizes same-sex marriage in his country and denies gay citizens the freedoms to assemble and petition their government." Archbishop Peter Akinola is "part of a global alliance of conservative bishops [and others]...who seek to dominate the Anglican Communion," Chane asserts.
