From Zimbabwe-
IF YOU are looking for saints, avoid the Anglican Church in Zimbabwe.
On one side stands a collection of bible-waving gay activists, who are ranged against police-backed pseudo-religious gangsters who count Robert Mugabe among their heroes.
Bishop Nolbert Kunonga, an unpalatable man by all accounts, formed a break-away church in 2007 after resisting pressure to join other Anglicans, particularly the Church of England, in blessing, or at the very least supporting, gay marriages.
After his election as bishop in 2001, Kunonga denounced his fellow priests who refused to buy into his gospel that Mugabe was a democrat. He called them “Uncle Toms” and “puppets”. All 25 white priests from around the country have now quit his diocese.
There were allegations raised by the church that he ordered the killing of 11 fellow priests. One priest, James Mukunga, was forced to flee to London after claiming Kunonga had given him a list of top Anglican officials, his opponents, to pass onto government hitmen.
