Zambia: Homosexuality Against African Norms - Anglicans


From Zambia-

ZAMBIA Anglican Council presiding Bishop Robert Mumbi says homosexuality is against African traditional way of life and Christian values.

Bishop Mumbi said it was the Christian and traditional values that defined Zambia and set it apart from other countries and a lot of work needed to be done in the wake of strong gay rights campaigns and unchristian activities.

He said urbanisation was increasingly challenging the traditional and Christian values of the country and that not many people were standing up to speak against ungodly practices.

"The world is not static and the more urbanised we become, the more secular we shall be," Bishop Mumbi said.

He said there should also be political awareness, especially to do with certain human rights charters that the Government endorsed, saying some of them actually perpetuated some people championing homosexual activities.

The Church would not compromise on Christian values and it would challenge wrongdoing regardless of whether people were championing human rights or not.
