7B RELIGIONACtt Ciartottt $ot Thursday, September 22, 2005 HomosexuaKty causes rift between religious groups THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAGOS, Nigeria —Nigeria’s Anglican diurch has deleted all references to its mother church from its constitution, deepening a rift over homo sexuality but stopping short of a feared schism. A stat^nent on the church’s Web site Ihesday said “all for mer referraices to ‘communion with the see of Canterbury’ were deleted” at a meeting last week. Instead, the consti tution affirms its ties with all churches that maintain the “faith, doctrine, sacrament and discipline of the one holy Catholic and apostolic church.” With 17.5 million Anglicans, Nigeria has a strong voice in the 77 million-memb^ world wide Anglican Communion. Nigerian Anglican Archbishop Peter Akinola has emerged as a leader of Anglican conserva tives around the world, taking a key role throu^ the Global South grouping of churches in Africa, Asia and Latin Ameri ca in opposing any church acceptance of homosexuality The Nigerian and Ugandan churches broke ties with the U.S. Episcopal Church over its 2003 consecration of a gay bishop living with a partner. A dispute over same-sex mar riages in England has deep ened divisions. No one was available to comment Thesday on behalf of Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams or the Angli can Communion office in Lon don about the changes in the Nigerian church’s constitu tion. Williams has stru^.ed to keep liberals and conserva tives firom a formal break. But some fear an unbridge able lift has opened between liberals—many of them in North America—and conserv atives, who are strongest in Africa and Asia but include many North American tradi tionalists. In an open letter to other Anglican leaders, Akinola said the Nigerian church Cemetery preserved Continued from page 8B gotten,” said Hanahan City Councilman Levy Berry “If we’re able to get things right, we’re going to really have to give honor where honor is due.” Abraham Wiliams Jr, the last known living link to the cemeteries, foimd the first cemetery walking through the woods. Others hope to find the second cemetery known as Gadsden Cemetery said Melvin Reid, who plans to fol low Williams’ verbal direc tions when the weather cools. The group will help search the entire area, said president Kenny Johnson. “If we roam the whole area, eventually we’re going to find it,” Johnson said. “It’s out there somewhere.” Mount Carmel On The Move!

Akinola also slanuned a July 25 announcement fium England’s bishops that gay priests in same-sex partner ships wdll remain in good standing as long as they promise to follow church teaching that limits sexual relations to heterosexual marriage. The Eng^h bishops’ state ment was a response to a new law on same-sex paitner- ships iiT Britain, which goes into effect Dec. 5. Grcater.Salcni Church Act 4:1-4 Bible study Continued from page 8B Their type of laying on of hands was not to bless the apostles. It was, in fact, to arrest them. Peter and John were arrested and kept in jail overnight because Jewish law did not allow trials at ni^t. Although the Jews were under Roman rule, the Sad- ducees were given almost unlimited authority over the Tbmple guards thereby easily fadlitating the arrest of Peter and John. The only reason the Sadducees had, and needed to arrest them was that the apostles’ teachings contradicted their beliefs and teachings. Because it was already evening, the Sadducees had the apos tles arrested and detained ovem^it. Their intent was to try the apostles the following day However, no matter what they had planned, nothing could change the fact that nearly 5,000 men had heard eind accepted the (kjspel message the apostles had preached and now were a part of the Jerusalem church.
