Church of Nigeria in full communion with Anglican Church of North America


From Dallas- (no surprise here)

The Anglican Church of North America, which theological conservatives have organized as an alternative to the Episcopal Church, has been declared to be in full communion by the Church of Nigeria - a province of the Anglican Communion. it's the first province to make such a declaration. Bishop Jack Iker last year led the majority of Episcopal Churches in the Fort Worth Episcopal diocese out of the Episcopal Church, aligning instead with a conservative, Argentina-based province of the Anglican Communion. The Episcopal Church has since reorganized the Fort Worth diocese. Iker and his group are part of the Anglican Church of North America, and the hope is that it will develop into a full-fledged, fully recognized alternative to the Episcopal Church, though many Episcopalians argue that will never happen.
