Nigerian Anglican Church Now Has 167 Bishops

From Nigeria-

The Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion yesterday added  two new bishops to the number of bishops they have in the country. Also the are Venerable, Prince Asukwo Antai who is now the Bishop of Uyo Diocese and Venerable Williams O. Aladekugbe who is now the Bishop of Oyo Diocese. Before the consecration of the two new bishops, the Anglican Church of Nigeria had 166 bishops. Whereas Oyo had a bishop, the new bishop would be replacing him thereby making the number of bishops to 167.

Now, isn't that nice. Nigeria has a huge population. Probably at least 3-5% LGBTI Anglicans...hopefully there will be a handful of bishops amongst this extra-holy crowd who will have compassion for the marginalized, the demonized the tormented and outcasts of society...that, of course includes LGBTI in Nigeria because of their anti-LGBTI laws that are Anglican Church endorsed...what a proud moment to slap on a mitre in Nigeria and proceed on the witch hunt (oh, they do that too).
