Particularly when it’s the skin of a person who revels in this kind of extraordinary delirium:
I would have thought that the American Episcopalians who are attending the ECNA services already knew the hideous truth about Archbishop Akinola, but now I am not so sure. It is hard for me to believe that the Archbishop of Canterbury actually knows the details about the career of this terrible, evil man. How could he not know that this man is accused of ordering the rape and murder of hundreds, if not thousands of innocent Muslim victims–hacking children to pieces, raping pregnant women, burning bodies in the streets?
The corybantic denunciations don’t stop there: in the fevered imagination of this contributor to the Tucson Liberal Christian Examiner (obviously there is at least one liberal in Tucson), yours truly has become plural; perhaps, in her exasperation the author is seeing double:
and they describe me as erroneous here: www.anglicansamizdat.net/wordpress/. I wonder when the ECNA will decide to do research and inform themselves–or have they done it already, but they think that rape, murder and torture of Muslims is fine with them, as well as persecuting homosexuals.
Rather, if you read this story, the author concludes with a paragraph describing how praiseworthy Archbishop Akinola is.
To make sure I was under no illusions about the sense of welcoming inclusion I could reasonably expect to find in the excitable Margot’s version of church, she sent me an email:
Thanks for the accurate and factual assessment of my position. Akinola is a maniac; the ACNA is based on no doctrinal issue at all. ACNA stands for bigotry in the Anglican Communion, that’s my line. Has Akinola become your prelate yet? Good riddance to you!
That cheered me up for the entire day.
