[Los Angelos Times] 4 May 2007--Tensions between the Episcopal Church and its critics in the worldwide Anglican Communion have escalated with an exchange of strongly worded letters between the church’s presiding bishop and the Anglican archbishop of Nigeria.
The letters involve a planned visit by Nigerian Archbishop Peter J. Akinola to the United States this weekend, in which he is expected to install a bishop to lead congregations that have broken away from the Episcopal Church.
The 2.3-million-member church is the American branch of the Anglican Communion and is at odds with much of the rest of the denomination over the U.S. church’s more liberal views on homosexuality and other issues.
