The Pentecostal

I had lunch today in San Francisco with a Nigerian Pentecostal from London. We spoke about the Lambeth conference going on in London. She mentioned with some not fully hidden pride how the Nigerians were leading the boycott of the meeting over the gay US bishop. She went on to describe how Nigeria, being the most populous country in Africa, was looked up to as a leader for the whole continent, that Catholics and Anglicans dominated the country. She was very glad to hear I was going on a men's retreat.
