Different tone, same secrecy

Archbishop Peter Akinola and the Standing Committee of the Church of Nigeria have released a pastoral letter that is notable for two reasons: it is less belligerent than usual, and it makes clear that the Church is still unwilling to disclose who is funding the realignment of the Anglican Communion.

We are told that the Lord raised up "those who have felt sufficiently committed to the need to preserve the sanctity of our historic faith that they have committed huge resources to cover all the cost of the conference." But we aren't told who these people are, and what their interests might be.
