Archbishop of Canterbury: Nigeria's Anglican Church "A powerhouse"

From Anglican News-

Churches in Nigeria are "suffering" but are "determined and full of faith", the Archbishop said during a BBC World Service special on the country's prospects for peace and prosperity.

The Archbishop of Canterbury took part in a special programme on Nigeria’s prospects for peace and prosperity on BBC World Service’s Newsday yesterday.

Archbishop Justin, who first visited Nigeria in 1978 while working in the oil industry and has since returned regularly as a priest working on reconciliation and development projects, joined the show which was exploring Nigeria’s potential to become a major economic player.

The Archbishop, who regularly speaks with contacts in Nigeria, described its Anglican Church as an ‘extraordinary powerhouse’.

Powerful? Dangerous to the health, spiritual and otherwise, of LGBT Anglicans/others. Who are is he trying to stroke (won't work with me). Until The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) deals with their lack of inclusivity at all levels of churchlife, well, they can huff and puff and strut their stuff but they remain accessories to crimes of hate.
