Archbishop Peter Akinola in Wheaton

From Captain Yips Secret Journal, a report from the Chicago Tribune on Archbishop Akinola's visit to Wheaton today, where protests were planned:

In an impassioned sermon at Edman Memorial Chapel in Wheaton today, Anglican Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria spoke against sexual sin, saying unity must come from obedience to God.

"Those who are working for the unity of God's people lack one thing: the word of God," Akinola said. "Whoever loves God will obey God." "Fornication is fornication. Adultery is adultery. ... These are the areas of primary evangelism."

Akinola, who leads the largest church in the worldwide Anglican community, is the fiercest critic of the Episcopal church's liberal stance on homosexuality. His controversial visit comes at a time when Episcopal bishops are meeting in New Orleans to respond to a demand they stop consecrating gay bishops.

Outside the chapel, a group of about 20 protesters held signs calling Akinola a homophobe and a bigot. . .
