Ruth Gledhill talks with Abp. Akinola

On her blog, Ruth Gledhill says that Archbishop of Nigeria Peter Akinola spoke with the London Times today (presumably Ruth herself?)

You can read her report here. There’s nothing particularly new, but I appreciated ++Akinola’s closing reminder about hope.

Dr Akinolasaid: “It is still hoped that somehow the good Lord will save His Church from further fragmentation. We are praying for Dr Williams. We are still full of hope. Remember that we are Christians. If we lose hope, then everything is gone.”

    There is always hope, yes! Even when a patient is terminal, there is hope either of a miracle of healing or of the resurrection.

  2. Bob from Boone says:

    2. This remark comes from a bishop that is a major contributor to the fragmentation. Does he have a clue?

  3. Alli B says:

    Bob, that’s like blaming the surgeon for the cancer.
