| Q4. What are the results of the Primates’ Meeting in February 2007? |
| |
In February 2007, the Primates (i.e., head Anglican archbishops) met in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to chart a way forward for the Anglican Communion. The ongoing intransigence of The Episcopal Church (TEC) forced the Primates to devote the majority of their meeting to following through on The Windsor Report. The stakes were enormous and it was an intense spiritual battle.
The Primates recognized that CANA and the Anglican Mission in America have a valid and important place in the Communion, and rejected any attempt to draw a moral equivalence between our so called "interventions” and the “innovations” embraced by TEC. The Primates concluded that TEC had not responded adequately to The Windsor Report and graciously gave TEC one last chance to uphold the biblical teachings of the Anglican Communion, with a date certain set for September 30, 2007.
Despite the fact that TEC’s Presiding Bishop was witness to the unanimously agreed upon terms of the Primates’ communiqué from February 2007, she and the TEC House of Bishops seem determined to ignore the Communion. For example, TEC has maintained a no -going back stance on the issue of permitting clergy to openly live in sin and also has continued to pursue its litigation against the clergy and volunteer vestries at more than ten CANA congregations, even though the Primates urged the suspension of all litigation. |

| Q5. What is CANA? |
| |
| CANA is the Convocation of Anglicans in North America. Initially started to provide worship centres for Nigerians in North America, it is now a Missionary diocese of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion catering for many who feel alienated as their former church walks away from the faith once delivered.

| Q6. What is the Church of Nigeria's position on homosexual relationships? |
| |
| The Church of Nigeria maintains that God's plan as evidenced in Genesis 2:18 - 25 and affirmed by Christ is for marriage between male and female. Efforts to bless same-sex unions are unscriptural and those in such dilemma are called to repentance as they pray for God's love to lead them aright. As a caring church, committed to Christ's command to "love one another", we do not turn anyone away, but we exhort all Christians to present their bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God as outlined in the Holy Scriptures. Churches and church leaders who teach or live otherwise are walking away from the truth of the Scriptures and they endanger the lives of their followers. Our Church does not hate any human being. Rather, we have been outspoken because of attempts by some to undermine the importance of God's word written as received by the fathers of the Church and accepted by the Creeds and Anglican Book of Common Prayer 1662. We continue to pray for everyone to experience God's transforming power |
