2004 -- Nigeria's year
One of the likely prospects is Cardinal Francis Arinze, 71, an Ibo from Nigeria and now prefect of the Vatican's Congregation on Divine worship. He is tough, energetic knows how to handle youth -- and most importantly perhaps - - is an expert on Islam.

inclusion (read perversity) with an "alternative" vision for the
diocese. They tried and they failed.

2003 YEAR IN REVIEW - Part Four
Canon Bill Atwood of EKKLESIA said the Global South majority of
Primates and bishops were so offended by the conduct of Canada, UK, and
ECUSA in the last ten days, they were no longer going to be willing to
have parallel jurisdiction. "I'm guessing," he writes, "that what will
emerge is 'replacement jurisdiction.' By doing so it will not allow for
the cancer to continue without being addressed.

2003 YEAR IN REVIEW - Part Two
In order to do damage control for his outrageous remarks, Griswold tried to spin his own words, and in private correspondence to President Bush wrote; "My comments were taken out of a larger context and had to do with my international travels as Presiding Bishop and my opportunities to meet with bishops and archbishops in other part of our worldwide Anglican Communion many in countries overwhelmed by poverty and disease."

TWO CONFLICTING VIEWS OVER THE FUTURE OF ECUSA EMERGES
On one side is the "vision" of Frank T. Griswold, The Episcopal
Church's Presiding Bishop. His vision is contained in what he calls
guidelines for providing "Supplemental Episcopal Pastoral Care" for
those bishops who find they have "dissident" meaning biblically

diocesan bishops like Charles E. Bennison, Tom Shaw, and John Chane et
al.
