Why we may boycott Lambeth Conference - Akinola

[Nigerian Tribune] 5 Nov 2007--Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Reverend Peter Akinola, has explained why Nigerian bishops are insisting on the postponement of next year’s Lambeth Conference.

Archbishop Akinola said on Sunday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that “we want more time to reconcile our differences on the thorny issue of homosexuality.”

The Lambeth Conference, a once-a-decade meeting of all Anglican bishops, is usually held in London under the chairmanship of the Archbishop of Canterbury and is slated for June.

According to Akinola, Nigerian bishops had not “fully decided” on whether they would attend.
