Akinola Christ-like?

I have been seeing this article bandied about. And I thought it is due a quick question.

Is this Christ like?

'The way he tells the story, the first and only time Archbishop Peter J. Akinola knowingly shook a gay person’s hand, he sprang backward the moment he realized what he had done.

Archbishop Akinola, the conservative leader of Nigeria’s Anglican Church who has emerged at the center of a schism over homosexuality in the global Anglican Communion, re-enacted the scene from behind his desk Tuesday, shaking his head in wonder and horror.

“This man came up to me after a service, in New York I think, and said, ‘Oh, good to see you bishop, this is my partner of many years,’ ” he recalled. “I said, ‘Oh!’ I jumped back.”'

What does it show of the man Akinola?

Well, it is hard to say, but-

• He has met few homosexuals. (No, excuse the correction. He has met few admitted homosexuals.) why does he fight them so much?
  
• He strongly believes that touching a homosexual would taint him. With what?
  
  To him, he is fighting the admittance of some lesser humans into a congregation of humans
  

But the one thing which struck me most when I first read the article was this thought. Would you have found Jesus dead springing back from touching a sinner? This is the guy who was famously censured for 'eating with sinners.' Well, remember that the Archbishop of Uganda told the one of Canterbury that he could not sit down with the Archbishop of the US church.

These are mighty interesting Christians!
