African bishops maintain anti-gay stand

ANGLICAN bishops attending the All Africa Bishops Conference in Entebbe have reiterated their firm stand against homosexuality.

In speeches, most of which received standing ovations, the prelates said the practice was alien and an “innovation of the truth”.

Present was the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, whose open support of the practice has made him the centre of attraction for the media at the conference.

The seven-day conference, at the Imperial Resort Beach Hotel, attracted over 400 bishops, a quarter of whom are from Nigeria. Participants were excited by the attendance of bishops from the Muslim countries of Sudan and Egypt.

As most clergy stood to clap at speeches critical of homosexuality, Archbishop Williams and two aides, who sat in the front row, were the only ones who remained seated.

The Rev. Canon Grace Kaiso, said the conference is expected to design strategies to curb poverty, conflict and disease on the continent.

Prayers and Bible study will be held every morning in the conference hall.
In a sermon earlier, Williams did not talk about homosexuality, an issue which has put the African church on a collision path with their Western counterparts, who have ordained gay priests...

atleast someone there wasnt wooping for death to homosexuals may us burn in hell >.> ...

also i love the hypocrisy of ending disease and poverty and conflict...

1)conflict....thats theyre speciality...they are heading for civil war on female appointments and who they want to discriminate against...

2) poverty...what are they going to do about poverty? a bake sale? how about sell off some of that gold you got laying about...the jewel crosses? ...no? oh well starvation goes on ...

3) the worst disease...this is after the popes ignorant stance on contraception ... and surely diseases were created by their god to punish the wicked surely they should be loving the disease >.> ...

and whats all this theyre at a resort or something? sounds a bit fancy a bit like a all expenses paid holiday... shouldn't they be staying at a missionary or summat...arent bishops and all that suppose to be humble and godly forsaking worldly goods for a spiritual life? devoting themselves to their god?

perhaps im stuck in the old days there lol..
