There is a meeting of the Anglican church in Dar Es Salam, Tanzania this week in part to discuss 'issues' regarding homosexuality and its relation to the church. The Nigerian Church is threatening to break away from the Anglican church by next year if something isn't done about those "damn gays and lesbians."
In December the Anglican Church of Tanzania decided to not take funding from liberal U.S. churches that condone homosexual practices or bless same sex unions. At least one African bishop is breaking ranks from this position and taking the money in good conscience with the statement "Let the judgement be done by God, not by me."
Unfortunately not all of the African primates (not monkeys, the leaders of the church are called primates) agree with that assessment. Several of them refused to participate in some of the ceremonies of the meeting with the leader of the Episcopal church in the U.S. because they are in fact quite judgemental.
