ya know it is a big world and the more i know the more i want to know. but ocasionally i am reminded of how small the part i know is, or how narrow my point of view is. as i learn more about the anglican church because of a news story that i wish wasn't happening i found out that the us and england may be minor players in this:
Africa is now home to more than half the world's Anglicans. Uganda, a country about the size of Oregon, has 8 million believers. Nigerian Archbishop Peter Akinola heads the largest Anglican province in the world with some 17 million parishioners. By contrast, the Episcopal Church, the US branch of the Anglican Communion, which has lost half its membership in recent decades, has just over 2 million members.
