The conservative primates, most notable ++Akinola of Nigeria, have regularly referred to Lambeth 1998 1.10, a specific resolution passed by the Lambeth conference (of all bishops within the communion) in 1998 which states that 1) (homosexuals) are loved by God and that all baptized, believing and faithful persons, regardless of sexual orientation, are full members of the Body of Christ 2) the church resolves to listen to the experience of homosexual persons and 3) homosexual practice is incompatable with scripture.  Of course, while the American conservatives have tried to take the more nuanced, love the sinner/hate the sin stance, the African primates have been far more intolerant, focusing exclusively on the third point of the Lambeth resolution.

The dynamic of the relationship between western conservatives and the Global South Primates (GSP) is significant.  The American conservative minority lead by Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh, long affiated with the American Anglican Counsel (AAC) and their (unofficial) parent organization the Institute for Religion and Democracy (IRD) continue to put internal pressure on the Episcopal Church's general convention while the GSP put pressure on the Archbishop of Canterbury to disassociate with the Episcopal Church.  At the same time, the AAC (working through their sister organization, the Network of Anglican Communion Diocese and Parishes) have been recruiting parishes to abandon the Episcopal Church.  Many of those parishes which have done so have affiliated with a foreign bishop and diocese.

Bishop Chane brings us up to date on Nigeria's tolerance and the gay issue:

...Archbishop Peter J. Akinola, primate of the Church of Nigeria and leader of the conservative wing of the communion, recently threw his prestige and resources behind a new law that criminalizes same-sex marriage in his country and denies gay citizens the freedoms to assemble and petition their government. The law also infringes upon press and religious freedom by authorizing Nigeria's government to prosecute newspapers that publicize same-sex associations and religious organizations that permit same-sex unions...

Not exactly a "love the sinner/hate the sin" attitude.    Father Mark Harris has more on his blog, Preludium:

Voice of America online reports on the comments of the Anglican Church in Nigeria's spokesman:

"The Anglican Church in Nigeria Thursday said it welcomes government decision to push for legislation to outlaw homosexuality. The government said it will introduce legislation to punish homosexuality by up to five years in jail and ban same-sex marriages. A spokesman for Nigeria's Anglican Church described homosexuality as an abomination.

The spokesman for the Anglican church in Nigeria, Reverend Tunde Popoola, says the proposed ban is appropriate. The Anglican community in Nigeria has long waged a vigorous campaign against homosexuals, as Reverend Popoola explains.

Update: Additionally, as Fr. Jake notes in comments to the IRD story on the main page, he has discussed these issues as well here and here.

Update 2: Thinking Anglicans has a response to Bishop Chane

…A spokesman for the Church of Nigeria, Canon Akintunde Popoola, disputed this characterization, arguing Bishop Chane misconstrued the text of the bill and Archbishop Akinola’s role in the legislative process. “Archbishop Peter to my knowledge is yet to comment [publicly] on the bill. I have said we welcome it because we view homosexuality as ‘against the norm’.”

While banning ‘gay clubs’ in “institutions from secondary to the tertiary level or other institutions in particular” and “generally, by government agencies,” the proposed law is silent as to the status of private gay clubs.

Silent as to the status of private gay clubs, huh? Let's take a look at paragraph 7.3 of the legislation:

7.(3) Any person who is involved in the registration of gay clubs, societies and organizations, sustenance, procession or meetings, publicity and public show of same sex amorous relationship directly or indirectly in public and in private is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a term of 5 years imprisonment.
