Nigerian Anglican leader Archbishop Peter J Akinola has told the head of the Anglican Communion that the worldwide body is deeply divided and that despite many efforts to keep the body from splitting, the division has only deepened.
"As leaders of the [Anglican] Communion, we have all spent enormous amounts of time, travelled huge distances, sometimes at great risk, and expended much needed financial resources in endless meetings, communiqués and reports," wrote Archbishop Akinola in a letter addressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams.
"We have developed numerous proposals, established various task forces and yet the division has only deepened," he added.
