The Bishop of Rochester, Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, has defended traditional biblical teachings on homosexuality and said the Church should not be "rolled over by culture".

Dr Nazir-Ali spoke as tens of thousands of people, including Sarah Brown, the Prime Minister’s wife, joined the annual Pride London march to celebrate homosexual culture. A war of words broke out between Labour and the Conservatives over the issue of homosexuality last week after a minister accused the Tories of having a "deep strain of homophobia" running through the party.

The bishop’s controversial comments will reignite the battle over homosexuality in the Church of England ahead of what promises to be a divisive week for Anglicanism. the rest

I believe that Jesus died for the prostitute but not for prostitution; He died for the murderer but not for murder; He died for the homosexual but not for homosexuality. Th problem is that homosexual movements aren't only promoting decent treatment for homosexuals but they are promoting homosexuality itself! I believe that Dr. Michael Nazir-Ali deserves the upport of all intellectually honest Christians.
