Here's some more info:

Minns has consulted with his ECUSA bishop (+Lee) and is planning to step 
down as rector of Falls Church (timetable unkown).

We don't know what ++Akinola is thinking or planning in regard to 
coordination with Anglcans in the U.S. Obviously it would have been good had 
he consulted with +Duncan or +Riches (with whom he first corresponded), and 
although unlikely, we don't know that he didn't. Nigeria is a blessing, but 
at the same time it is a steamroller of sorts. It's hard to imagine the 
energy and responsibility ++Akinola gives to his own province as it grows at 
a pace of a million parishioners some years. And with the rest that is going 
on in the Nigeria denominations (he's head of the major ecumenical group) 
and in Nigerian politcs, government corruption, Islamic jihad (he regularly 
speaks to all these issues), and all the Primatial stuff, I'm not surprised 
we can get lost in his bigger picture. Hopefully things become more orderly 
in the next few years.
