Name: Adam Dickson on Nov 18, 2009Comments: This new bill is appalling, and I am both disappointed and outraged that our most senior bishops in the UK, let alone our church leaders, are taking their time in condemning this clearly immoral excuse for "law." Regardless of our views on sexual ethics, surely no one can argue that a death sentence for homosexual behaviour is an act in keeping with the Gospel message of love.Flag

Name: Tom Mcdonald on Nov 18, 2009Comments: It is appaling if we as Christians in the 21rst Century do not speak out against such a crime as putting people to death or even imprisoning them for having a consensual relationship that is not harming anyone around them.Flag

Name: David Reid on Nov 18, 2009Comments: This is an horrific piece of proposed legislation. It is cruel and inhuman and purports to pit family, friends, neighbours and the state against Lesbian and gay people. It is justified using Christian beliefs and it is important that the given the importance of the church of England in many Ugandan peoples lives that the church should make an offical comment denouncing the legislation.Flag

Name: Noel Moules on Nov 18, 2009Comments: The Christian community of faith has a responsibility to speak out for justice. This bill is simply wrong on every count and shows how the deep prejudice and ignorance against lesbian and gay people continues in vicious forms. Rowan Williams and the other church leaders must be encouraged to speak out loudly against this injustice.Flag

Name: Rev Roger Stubbings on Nov 18, 2009Comments: I have already written to the Ugandan High Commission in London expressing my deep concern, as a Methodist minister, about the proposed Bill and would strongly urge Christian leaders around the world to express their concern, and, of course, particularly Archbishop Rowan Williams, and Archbishop John Sentamu, given the place of the Anglican Church in Uganda.Flag

Name: John K. Stoner on Nov 18, 2009Comments: It is a sad day when people who call themselves Christians and/or followers of Jesus propose the execution of people whom they consider sinners. It might be possible to get further from the spirit of Jesus than this, but one is hard put to imagine how.Flag
