AMEN
Monday, July, 23RD 2012 – A Mombasa bishop said that the gay community poses a far too greater threat than terrorism in Kenya. Bishop Julius Kalu of the Mombasa Anglican Church told his congregation which included Mutava Musyimi, a Presidential aspirant and Gachoka MP that Christians are now challenged by “the enemies of the Church’’ mainly homosexuals and lesbians and terrorism was a lesser threat compared to the first two.
The bishop said, “our greatest fear as a church should not be the grenade attacks, but the new teachings like same sex marriages. Christians should be spiritually armed to confront the challenges.’’
Bishop Kalu was out of the country for about two months during which the debate on gay unions has raged across Coast Province where the practice is prevalent. He was responding to an incident of a grenade attack on Christians in a church in Mombasa and another one in Garissa.
The terror attack in Garissa happened on July 1 where 17 lives were claimed including a Muslim policeman in a hail of bullets on two churches in Garissa. Yesterday, Kalu and Musyimi said Christians are now living in fear after the attacks and are not to attend Sunday service. According to Kalu, terror attacks and crusade for gay unions is a double edged sword pieced through the heart of the church. He added that attendance has dropped in recent times.
“The congregation does not close eyes in prayer for fear of grenade attacks however what the congregation should fear most is new liberal teachings allowing same sex marriages,’’ Bishop Kalu claimed during his sermon at ACK Memorial Cathedral.
He said that the gay movement has eroded moral logic that threatens to cripple the church by introducing unacceptable teachings in the name of freedom of worship and association.
“The church is at war with an enemy of faith and the enemies are those who are changing the Christian doctrine. So Christians must be fully armed and spiritual as it is only divine intervention that will enable the country overcome these challenges,’’ the bishop said.
