The Anglican Primate of all Nigeria, the Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh said the Episcopal Church's revisionist agenda in the Anglican Communion has weakened the church and "altered" time-honored theological positions resulting in some ecumenical friends now doubting our reliability, and suspect our fellowship.

Addressing the fourth annual Council of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA), the recently installed Anglican Metropolitan of some 20 million Anglicans - the largest province in the Anglican Communion - also ripped the West for abandoning its Christian inheritance.

"Perhaps this is the easiest road to take. But it is certainly not the right road. As I look at the West, I see great nations with wonderful histories and the power to do so much good but they do not allow Christ to be present in these measures. If we do not give Christ the authority to transform our actions and our society, then the good of the West will be short-lived.
