To opine that, unknown to humans, God had hitherto created some people to be homosexuals and lesbians (i.e., sexual orientations) is tantamount to creating God in our own image and introducing a cancerous element into the fabric of the African understanding of marriage and family.

Self-seeking, self-glory, that is not me. No. Many people say I embarrass them with my humility.

Whoever God is calling to govern must put God first, must know the people, must know what their aspirations are, must know what their needs are and address those needs. In that way they will be blessed, they will rejoice and God too will be honoured.

We are distressed by the unilateral actions of those provinces that are clearly determined to redefine what our common faith was once.

We are insisting and we will continue to insist that this faith of the church must continue to be upheld come rain, come fire. That is our position.

It is wrong to use equal language for unequal actions.

Britain has joined its brethren in the 'civilised West' to legitimise civil partnerships, which to us simply means same-sex marriages. They are also putting a ban on preaching because it offends Muslim minorities. Britain has, of course, made Sunday a working day.
