[Church Times] March 3, 2006--of volunteers in Nigeria has written an open letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury asking him to denounce last week's "irresponsible" statement by the Archbishop of Nigeria, the Most Revd Peter Akinola, on the current Christian-Muslim riots.

I am prompted to ask why Church Times does not identify who the "volunteers" are, the organizations with which they are associated, and any common factors that link them together such as a particular theological stance or political or social agenda? As far as we know, they may long-standing liberal critics of the Primate of Nigeria, exploiting his statements for their own purposes.
