Akinola criticises West for cultural laxity and timidity

[Church Times] 15 Sep 2008--England has let Christ go, says the Archbishop of Nigeria, the Most Revd Peter Akinola. Consequently, the “huge religious vacuum” created in the name of multiculturalism is being filled by Islam.

In an interview with Third Way, the Archbishop says he now leads 20 million Anglicans — “not on paper: in the pews on Sundays”. He describes himself to Joel Edwards, director of the Evan­gelical Alliance, as a nobody; some­one with no claim to glamour or “superstar syndrome”; a “tool in the hand of God”, with no choice but to be humble.
