I feel incredibly angry today. Ive been chatting for the last hour and a half with a gay Nigerian friend, a quiet, thoughtful, stable young man who allowed himself to trust a friend who invited him to a cafe this morning. It was entrapment. They went to a place that was more rooming house than cafe which was a set-up, finding himself in a room where other guys were waiting to assault him. He has been attacked, threatened with a machete, kicked and punched, burnt with cigarettes, forcibly stripped naked, clothes torn, photos and a video taken, beaten, and those in the room were joined by guys he had seen playing football earlier. He is a Christian and those assaulting him were Christians. He feels suicidal now, fears the police and further exposure, cant seek medical treatment, is in deep pain physical and emotional. Assaults like this against LGBTI people are a daily event in Nigeria and other homophobic African countries. I am seethingly angry at the distortion of Christian teaching that encourages and supports the abuse of LGBTI people. Im furious at the failure of Justin Welby and other Primates and bishops to have the guts to proclaim the love of God and condemn all abusive action. Im sick of the corruption of the church in this country which also abuses LGBTI people, but in a spineless, devious, underhand way, blocking vocations, colluding in the appointment of people who flout the rules whilst blocking those judged to be inconvenient - because they would upset the African churches. %@~#*****arghhhhhhhh. Chrisianity has become so sick, following a Jesus who I dont recognise but who gets trotted out by the ABC as if he is the magical answer to all our needs. Welbys Jesus isnt the answer to the need for love and protection of LGBTI Africans nor the need for just recognition of LGBTI members of the Church of England. My friend needs help but I am impotent. African Christianty needs to be transformed from corruption to love and justice and truth, and I thank Godf for all those friends of mine who work with passion for such a transformation.
