When the article speaks of North American interests spending "the Almighty Dollar" to win influence with African bishops, I believe they are referring primarily to IRD (Institute on Religion and Democracy)--a right wing Washington think-tank that seeks to destroy mainline denominations like Episcopalians, Methodists and Presbyterians which have been "too liberal" in their social and anti-war emphases. They use the issue of homosexuality as a wedge issue to promote discord and schism.
