Talk:Peter Akinola

message: How can he have been born in 1944 and already be retired after reaching the age of 70?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul Emmons (talk • contribs) 00:43, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Age and birthday

message: If one were to look at the article on the Church of Nigeria, they would see that The Most Revd. Nicholas Dikeriehi Orogodo Okoh is now the Primate of the Church of Nigeria, and has been since March 25, 2010.  Perhaps this article should be changed to reflect that.

thread_title: No Longer Primate of Church of Nigeria

message: I don't think that application is correct. Trau
: You cite two appellations;  which do you think is incorrect?  "Evangelical" certainly seems applicable;  is he in fact "low", regarding e.g. liturgy & vestments?  In any case, this dual claim could use citation. ABShippee (talk) 18:20, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a citation to the 2000 Vision Statement of C. of N., backed by A., which clearly supports both "low church" and "Evangelical", esp. this:  "The present liturgical rigidity which borders on insensitivity is not helpful and there is insufficiency in the coordination of the conduct of church services to integrate prayers, hymns and singing of Psalms, the reading of the Bible and the preaching of the word. Church services therefore appear unexciting to the youths who, as a result, leave for the new generation churches."  Elsewhere on the site there is a focus on Bible studies for all, and on preaching Word of God, &c., but little or none on "High Church" concerns.  So, both L.C. & E. seem well justified.

thread_title: Low church Evangelical?

message: I have deleted one paragraph which contained misleading information.  I regret to say that I was the one who originally posted the claims - which I have since found out are incorrect - that Archbishop Akinola laid hold of Bishop Spong at the 1998 Lambeth Conference.  I have since learned that it was (a) a different Nigerian bishop involved, and (b) that it was not Bishop Spong who got handled.  It was, however, someone he publicly supported.
I apologise for not checking my facts more carefully before publishing them the first time. Davidcannon 22:14, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Attacked Spong?

message: "Homosexuals are lower than pigs & cattle". - He is known to have said this in expressing his anger at the Anglican Church of Canada & the Episcopal Church of the U.S.A over their stance regarding homosexuality. - (Aidan Work 04:19, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have a precise quote and source for this?  If so, the place for it might be Wikiquote on Akinola which has a number of surprising quotations from this man.  A very similar quote has been attributed to Robert Mugabe ("lower than pigs and dogs") by e.g. the BBC here.  I suspect that your quote is a paraphrase of Akinola's (inaccurate) observation "I cannot think of how a man in his senses would be having a sexual relationship with another man. Even in the world of animals, dogs, cows, lions, we don’t hear of such things."  It seems that he has denied the "lower than beasts" quote:  see this reference.

thread_title: Quotations of Archbishop Peter Akinola.

message: As it stands, the article either implicitly sides with Rick Warren's point (P.A.'s remark is like N.M.'s) or at least allows the comparison to be valid.  However, Mandela's comment seems an obvious observation, while Akinola's commment seems an obvious threat, i.e., Warren is wrong to link them.  Can this be clarified? ABShippee (talk) 18:31, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Furthermore, this change: The phrase "monopoly on violence" is most characteristically associated with describing how, in modern states, acts of enforcement are controlled by the government in "the monopoly of the legitimate use of violence in the enforcement of its order" (Max Weber) and does not rely upon vigilantism or private security which is not legitimated by the state. is problematic:  1) PA used monopoly OF violence.  2) There is no evidence to show that PA was using it in this way.  3) There's no evidence to show that others HEARD it in this way.  Still this needs work.  ABS (talk) 17:29, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: His comment on cartoon riots

message: The photo caption under the Relations with the Anglican Communion section states that he's wearing a Mitre & Stole.  While technically correct (one rarely wares a cope & mitre without a stole), the vestment that's covering his shoulders is a cope.  His stole isn't visible in this photograph.  As this seems like a minor change, I've made the change in the article.  I'm new to this editing thing and beg your forgiveness if I should've waited before editing.

thread_title: Incorrectly titled vestment

message: I improved a bit the biographical information about Peter Akinola, in particular the religious positions he already or still helds, but I am not sure if they are totally accurate. If a user is capable of providing other sources about the positions that he has or still helds, he is welcome.Mistico (talk) 18:26, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
