Alice Linsley - Lies They Love to Tell About Akinola - Part One
2/13/2007

When feelings run strong in times of crisis, a scapegoat is often selected to carry blame or as the target of demonizing rhetoric. Archbishop Peter Jasper Akinola DD has achieved the status of both scapegoat and demonized individual. Such treatment doesn’t detour him, however, from defending Christianity and his fellow Anglicans who are marginalized and mistreated by The Episcopal Church.

+Peter Ajuba is a Christian whose authority has been recognized by Time Magazine, The New York Times, The London Times, and The Christian Science Monitor. His detractors, mainly American and British, are lesser figures who take pleasure in perpetuating lies about him. Some, such as Bishop John Chane, do so as officials of the Episcopal Church establishment. Others post pseudonymous blog comments full of vitriol and misrepresentation. They favor lies that portray the bishop as naïve, selfish, unsophisticated, manipulative and cruel. In reality, the target of their outrage is a well-informed, generous, and humble man whose churchmanship is world-wise, conciliar and apostolic.
