American Christians Condemn Ugandan Anti-Gay Bill
American Christians from across the theological and ideological spectrum have united to denounce a proposal in the Ugandan parliament that would make homosexual behavior punishable by life imprisonment or death.
The American Christian community has been deeply involved in Uganda for decades, which is why these leaders felt compelled to speak out--and to call on all other Christian leaders to do the same.
"This bill is an affront to human dignity and offensive to Christians around the world who take seriously Christ's command to love our neighbors as ourselves. I'm proud to stand with other people of faith who believe our values compel us to speak out against this profound injustice," said former Ambassador to Uganda and the Vatican, Thomas P. Melady.
