So, the heat in the Ugandan kitchen is really causing beads of sweat to form on the homophobes brows now! According to a report in a Southern Baptist publication, a group of Ugandan pastors have fired off an angry letter to Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in California, denouncing him for making a statement in opposition to their hate-filled Anti-Homosexuality Law. You can read about the controversy HERE. On one level, I can understand their frustration. If Rick Warren, and Scott Lively, and any other number of homophobes have been exporting their homophobia to Africa and helping to whip them all into a frenzy of fear, it must feel like a stab in the back to have somebody like Warren now say, "Well, don't be too mean to them... in fact, maybe don't be mean at all." It may seem like purpose-driven throw-the-car-in-reverse. Of course, I'm glad Rick Warren has finally said at least a peep about all this... but those seeds were sown... and this is the harvest of homophobia, Pastor Rick!
Still, THINKING ANGLICANS has been putting up some headlines that indicate that the homophobes may be feeling so much under attack that they're circling their wagons. One can only hope that by exposing the human rights abuses inherent in this legislation, this bill will find its way into the circular file.
May God give us his blessing,
and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.
Psalm 67:7
