New York Bishop Expects More Assertive Canterbury Role
5/9/2007

The recent exchange of letters between Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and Nigerian Archbishop Peter Akinola indicates that Archbishop Williams will be exercising a more assertive voice on the issues that are dividing the worldwide Anglican Communion, according to the Rt. Rev. Mark Sisk, Bishop of New York.

On May 5, Archbishop Akinola installed the Rt. Rev. Martyn Minns as a missionary bishop for the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA) at Hylton Memorial Chapel, a Christian event center in Woodbridge, Va. Before the service, Archbishop Williams sent a private letter to Archbishop Akinola that Archbishop Akinola confirmed included a plea not to go through with the installation.

In an interview with Reuters news service, Bishop Sisk said it was significant that Archbishop Williams tried to prevent the installation.
