[Daily Champion] 30 Apr 2007--A head of the May 5 visit by the Anglican Archbishop of Nigeria, Rev. Peter Jasper Akinola to the United States, for official assignment, the Episcopal Church is gearing up for a showdown with the cleric aimed at scuttling the proposed visit.

Akinola, a fierce critic of the Episcopal Church for its acceptance of homosexuality, is arriving the United States, May 5 to preside over a ceremony in Virginia that will install Martyn Minns, former rector of an Episcopal Church there, as the bishop of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America, an offshoot of the Nigerian church.
