A delegation of Nigerian archbishops including the Primate of the Anglican Province of Nigeria, Nicholas Okoh, told the Archbishop of Canterbury that he needs to allow Nigerians in the UK to worship "the Nigeria way" in abandoned Church buildings or allow them a scheduled time in parish churches where they could express themselves unreservedly in worship.

In a recent visit to Lambeth Palace, the Nigerian Primate appealed to Dr. Rowan Williams arguing that there was an "unceasing and intense bleeding of our young executive Anglicans moving over to the New Generation Churches due to what they describe as 'cold' worship style."

Archbishop Okoh said his request was viewed positively by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of All England. "The Archbishop requested that we put our proposal in writing. He assured us that it is a practical proposal." the rest
