Sure, seven Virginia-based Episcopal parishes may have just jumped ship for Nigeria, but that doesn't mean the entire church is distintegrating. Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori (pictured, looking pimpish) spoke out, insisting there's no way in hell renowned homo-hater Bishop Peter Akinola's congregation will out pray the U.S. of A.

The Houston Chronicle reports:

The Episcopal Church, the U.S. wing of the global Anglican Communion, has been under pressure from traditionalists at home and abroad since the 2003 consecration of the first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.

Under Anglican tradition, Akinola's move into Episcopal territory amounts to an invasion, since archbishops agree not to start churches outside the borders of their own region.

Jefferts Schori said some people held what she called the "fantasy" that Akinola's convocation could replace the U.S. denomination.

"I don't think that's going to happen any time soon," she said.
