The head of the Anglican Church in Uganda has criticised the position
of UK archbishops on homosexuality, saying "homosexual practice is
incompatible with scripture".
Stanley Ntagaali was reacting to a letter written by archbishops
Justin Welby and John Sentamu, leaders of the worldwide Anglican
Communion, in which the clergymen said that "victimisation or
diminishment of human beings ... is anathema" to the Church of England
and that the church was committed to "pastoral support and care of gay
people".
The clergymen addressed their letter to primates of the Anglican
Communion, and to the presidents of Nigeria and Uganda, saying it was in
response to questions raised about the Church of England's attitude to
new legislation in several countries that penalise gay people.
Sentamu, the archbishop of York, is originally from Uganda, whose
parliament has passed an anti-homosexuality bill that still awaits
presidential endorsement before it becomes law.
