Mbola is hundreds of miles from the Indian Ocean port of Dar es Salaam, and the closest city, Tabora, served as a base for 19th century explorer David Livingstone. With Mbola so far from world trade routes, yet squarely within Africa's malaria zone, it was easy to be left behind...
...commented, "We don't have to go through Canterbury to get to Jesus." He also set up his own Anglican body in the U.S. - the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (cana) - flouting Communion rules about stealing other bishops' sheep. Last February, when top Anglican archbishops gathered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Akinola extracted major concessions despite initial deft handling by Williams.

Yet, for most people around the world, Ethiopia is still associated primarily with famine and despair. And who wants to holiday in other people's misery? My guide in Bahir Dar was insistent: "Please tell your friends that this is a special, wonderful country." Certainly, traveling here feels like a step back in time - much more than just the seven years separating the Ethiopian calendar from the Western...
