...commented, "We don't have to go through Canterbury to get to Jesus." He also set up his own Anglican body in the U.S. - the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (cana) - flouting Communion rules about stealing other bishops' sheep. Last February, when top Anglican archbishops gathered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Akinola extracted major concessions despite initial deft handling by Williams. The gathering attached a strict deadline - Sept. 30 - to the usual cease-and-desist demands on the Americans, and added one more: that they arrange with the Communion for a "primatial vicar" to provide religious leadership for disgruntled...

Though the protein was two-thirds the size of that in a normal Friday's meal, the side dishes were the same size as always. We were already planning on ordering some potato skins. To our surprise, however, when we finished, we were full, but not stuffed. And we ordered...
