The story of the Nigerian Archbishop Primate is that one man with God is still a majority. History will record that Akinola stood in the gap like an Old Testament prophet, waving his arms calling down God's wrath against Satan's power.

He is followed by the Archbishop of Melbourne and former Primate Philip Freier who, in an ad clerum called the move "unnecessary" and possibly "an attempt to shed redress responsibilities "

Williams said Akinola would blink first, but he was wrong. AIDS dead wrong. The Nigerian leader had been inoculated by the proscriptions of Scripture on homosexuality, while Williams was prepared to fudge Scripture for a postmodern view of sexuality that a secular West was inhaling and to hell with what "uninformed" African Anglicans thought.

HART: I'm not leftist, quite frankly; to be left-wing or to be right-wing would be to be ideological. The only wings I like are on birds, bats, airplanes, and certain insects. The only reason why some people might label me a leftist is because they've abandoned conservatism to become radically right-wing. Such people are very good at fooling themselves. This is why I am certainly not left-wing or right-wing. I avoid extremes.
