Episcopal Chair Fights

Regarding this post — which some have attributed to me, but is actually a comment by Mark Krikorian found on National Review Online …

Here’s the response to Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori from Nigerian Archbishop Peter J. Akinola:

“You speak in your letter of centuries old custom regarding diocesan boundaries. You are, of course, aware that the particular historical situation to which you make reference was intended to protect the church from false teaching not to prevent those who hold to the traditional teaching of the church from receiving faithful episcopal care. … I also find it curious that you are appealing to the ancient customs of the church when it is your own Province’s deliberate rejection of the biblical and historic teaching of the Church that has prompted our current crisis.”
