The slandering of a bishop

There has been a great deal posted about archbishop +Akinola of Nigeria by his detractors. Some of it may be fair criticism or an honest disagreement with his views. But more than a little is outright falsehoods and libel. Alice Linsely, a recent convert to Orthodoxy, has posted an excellent article over at Drell's Descants that reviews and debunks many of the spurious accusations made against him. I have personally seen many of these accusations repeated on liberal forums, especially Episcopalian, such as Fr. Jake's site. I recommend this essay to the reader.
