Nigeria + REC (& APA)
Somehow this news makes these scholarships all the more tempting. Likewise, it makes the combination of Houston Graduate School of Theology and Cranmer House all the more appealing.
In Alister McGrath's preface to his The Future of Christianity (Blackwell, 2002), he writes that, "on any given Sunday, there are now more Anglicans attending church in the west African state of Nigeria than in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia, taken together." The worldwide Anglican Communion has some 77 million members, of which 17.5 million are in the Church of Nigeria, compared to only 2.4 million in the Episcopal Church, USA. (Note this telling article on membership statistics in the Anglican Communion.)
