This maiden edition of The Nigerian Anglican (TNA) is based on the exigencies of an enlightenment cum educative and entertainment medium for the Anglican faithfuls in Nigeria, most especially at a time of Pentecostal pandemonium and the unprecedented crisis rocking the Anglican Communion worldwide. There is indeed an urgent need to prevent our youth from misunderstanding the situation and misinterpreting the true position of the Church of Nigeria in the prevailing crisis. The Nigerian Anglican magazine is poised to promote the integrity of the Church of Nigeria and preserve its spiritual vaiues for posterity.

The Church and the House of Bishops deserve this kind of support and commendations for the unflinching and resolute determination against sodomy in the Church. The Nigerian Anglican magazine will serve the purpose of enlightening, educating and entertaining, not only the Anglican youths, parents and clergymen, but the entire Christian and Moslem population. We are committed to the promotion of our unity in diversity. This will be reflected in our monthly publication of columns, articles and special features. We hope that this magazine will mark the beginning of the good things to be celebrated in the Anglican Church of Nigeria. Happy reading and happy new year, 2008
