[Christianity Today (UK)] April 15, 2005--The Archbishop of Nigeria, the Most Rev Peter Akinola has made an historical announcement for the Anglican Communion this week. Akinola has declared the formation of a Convocation of Anglican Nigerian Churches in America. The purpose of the new organisation he said was to create a "safe harbour" for the Nigerian faithful – many of whom now feel unable to attend the Episcopal Church in the US (ECUSA), which is the Anglican arm of the worldwide denominational body.
