NEW YORK (BP)--Much of the church is asleep or in “deep, dark denial” about Islam, Anglican Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi of Uganda said in New York City at the Kairos Journal Award dinner Jan. 26.

Orombi, named one of World magazine’s “Daniels of the Year” for 2006, has been at the forefront of the Anglican church’s controversy over the open acceptance and ordination of homosexual ministers, is one of Africa’s leading voices for biblical fidelity. He and Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria are under fire from European church leaders for offering assistance to Episcopal churches in the United States that have broken with the worldwide Anglican Communion since the consecration of openly homosexual New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson in 2003.

“The church’s one foundation has been torn asunder by heresy and distress,” Orombi said. “Since the beginning, the church has faced attacks from within and attacks from outside. This is nothing new.” the rest
