A correction on my today piece, from One Who Certainly Ought to Know:

“Thank you for your article on homosexuality and the Anglican Communion.

Your views are shared by the overwhelming majority of churchmen, and I thank

you for expressing them so succinctly and soundly. May I make one

criticism? You have used the word “diocese” incorrectly in the context of

the Nigerian church. The Church of Nigeria is a Province led by an

Archbishop, who is known as the Primate of Nigeria. Nigeria is composed of

78 dioceses divided into three internal provinces each led by an Archbishop.

At an estimated communicant strength of 17 million, it is the largest member

Church of the Anglican Communion …. a polite fiction is maintained that

the CoE is the largest with 28 million baptized members, though less than a

million are regular churchgoers. As an aside, the second largest Church in

the Anglican Communion is the Church of Uganda and the third largest is

believed to be the Episcopal Church of the Sudan—though the Kenyans

dispute this… There are more Nigerians in an Anglican Church on any given

Sunday than the total of all Anglicans worshipping in the US, Canada,

Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and England.”
