Men of the hard cloth

Cover Story | WORLD's 2006 Daniels of the Year Peter Jasper Akinola and Henry Luke Orombi. Jesus asked His disciples, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A man clothed in soft garments?" John the Baptist, of course, was no such man, and neither are WORLD's 2006 Daniels of the Year Peter Jasper Akinola and Henry Luke Orombi. Their biblical stands are making a difference not only in Africa but in the United States, as the crisis in the oldest American denomination reaches its climax.

In this issue: "2006 Daniels of the Year," Dec. 16, 2006
