Since founding Changing Attitude-Nigeria, Davis Mac-Iyalla has been fired from his job as a school principal, suffered ostracism from family and friends, been arrested, threatened with kidnapping and death, and denied communion, according to media releases about his visit to the U.S. Prior to publicly declaring his homosexuality, he was an active and deeply involved member of the Anglican Church of Nigeria, was accorded the honor of “knight” of the church and was a lay reader, according to one of media releases.

The design for Lambeth 2008 “is not driven by production of reports and enabling resolutions building out of the reports, and that’s a significant departure from previous designs,” the Rev. Dr. Ian T. Douglas, a member of the Lambeth Design group. “The focus here is on transformation, the building of communion and the engagement with each other, the goal of which is to equip the bishops to be more effective and faithful servants to the ‘Missio Dei’ [God’s mission].”
