Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu has said they are praying for the head of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the Church of England to repent as he countered a statement in which the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said he was dismayed over Church of Uganda\u2019s support for the anti-gay law.<\/p>\n

\u201cArchbishop Welby has every right to form his opinions about matters around the world that he knows little about firsthand, which he has done in his recent statement about Church of Uganda’s widely held support for the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023,\u201d Archbishop Kaziimba observed.<\/p>\n

Uganda\u2019s President Museveni on June 7 clarified that the new legislation does not target people identifying as LGBTQ but rather persons engaged in homosexuality and same-sex promoters.<\/p>\n

However, Archbishop Welby said \u201cthere is no justification for any province of the Anglican Communion to support such laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Welby) and many other Western leaders seem to think that the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 criminalizes homosexuality. It does not,\u201d the Ugandan prelate noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur support has been made very clear by our earlier statement, so it does not require repeating,\u201d Archbishop Kaziimba responded to calls by Archbishop Welby for Uganda to reject the new law.<\/p>\n

With a hint of resistance, Archbishop Kaziimba hit back questioning why African countries like Ghana and Uganda are singled out for such virtue signaling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wonder if Archbishop Welby has written to encourage the Anglican Bishop of Cyprus and the Gulf to publicly advocate for decriminalizing homosexuality in the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

In April 2023, the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (Gafcon) agreed not to recognize the Archbishop of Canterbury as an instrument of communion during a convention in Rwanda\u2019s capital Kigali.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Church of England has chosen to impair her relationship with the orthodox provinces in the communion,\u201d Archbishop Kaziimba stressed in Friday\u2019s communication- also seen as a further break of relations between the Church of Uganda and Canterbury.<\/p>\n
