An Orthodox Reaction to American Liberal Cultural Imperialism

Anglican Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria, quoted in Nigerian Anglican leader blasts 'patronizing' Anglican report on gay split:
    "Why, throughout the document, is there such a marked contrast between the language used against those who are subverting the faith and that used against those of us, from the global south, who are trying to bring the church back to the Bible?

    "Where is the language of rebuke for those who are promoting sexual sins as holy and acceptable behavior? The imbalance is bewildering....

    "We have been asked to express regret for our actions and 'affirm our desire to remain in the communion.' How patronizing!

    "We will not be intimidated."
