‘Battle of the Bishops’ is the title of tonight’s edition of Compass on ABC-TV at 9:40pm AEDT.

“Follows the head of the Anglican Church in Nigeria as he leads a boycott of the once-a-decade Anglican leaders meeting in London, to hold a rival summit in Jerusalem. Archbishop Peter Akinola and other disaffected Anglicans, including Sydney’s Archbishop Peter Jensen, want to “restore traditional family values” and remain “faithfully committed to the scriptures”. Will this split the church in two?”

Sixteen months after GAFCON, how will it be portrayed? Since people may be discussing it tomorrow, it’s worth having a look.
