NO MORE SECRETS! Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, speak against proposed SHARIA-LIKE law in UGANDA!

Dr. Rowan Williams and Anglican Primates/Bishops there is a anti-Homosexuality GENOCIDE CAMPAIGN gaining strength at various Provinces of the Anglican Communion! What exactly will YOU do to save LGBT Anglicans/others from MURDER and/or PERSECUTION in Uganda HERE , Jamaica HERE, Nigeria HERE , Rwanda HERE. Africa faces a new era of anti-Gay laws HERE promoted by fundamentalist ¨Christian¨ American/Australian and English extremist ¨groups¨ who are increasingly spreading lies and bigotry around along with lots of MONEY?

What will you do to stop this wave of HATE, demonizing and OUTCASTING at The Anglican Communion? Do you think it is time that you had a real, and not subtle or ¨careful¨, conversation about LGBT Anglicans and OUR REALITY...you know, the famous ¨Listening¨ that you have a ¨commision to monitor¨ but the ¨Listening¨ doesn´t exist where fanatic extremism and outright LIES and other forms of falseness (bribes, purjery, threats) exist against LGBT Christians/others. Time to get down to the REAL, and uncomfortable, business of HUMAN SEXUALITY and bring ¨everyone up to speed¨ on the realities vs. deception (self and the preaching of MORAL UNTRUTH to others).

Archbishop of Canterbury and Primates at the Anglican Communion and ALL ANGLICAN BISHOPS please start facing the STARK UGLY TRUTH about the ¨shocking realities¨ of what/who is infecting some of the clergy and laity at the Anglican Communion!

Dear Dr. Williams,

Immediately. Yes, immediately take a position against the deadly/reckless Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009, pending before the Parliament of Uganda...this matter ought be a EMERGENCY MEETING topic of your Primates Council since our Provinces in Uganda, Nigeria and Kenya offer LGBT Anglicans NOTHING in terms of holy ministry...there is a POGROM taking place, wake up...shame on you, again and again for violating the trust and ¨first amongst equals¨ leadership responsibility that has been gifted to you at The Body of Christ!

RESPONSE from LAMBETH PALACE: Today, December 15, 2009

Dear Mr Ricardo,

¨Thank you for your message and for taking the trouble to write about this deeply painful issue.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is very clear that the Private Member’s Bill being discussed in Uganda as drafted is entirely unacceptable from a pastoral, moral and legal point of view. It is a cause of deep concern, fear and, to many, even outrage. The Archbishop has publicly stated that “the proposed legislation is of shocking severity and I can’t see how it can be supported by any Anglican who is committed to what the Communion has said in recent decades”.

For its part the Church of Uganda has clearly restated its opposition to the death penalty. As the Ugandan Church continues to formulate its position on the bill as a whole, the Archbishop has been working intensively behind the scenes (over the past weeks) to ensure that there is clarity on how the proposed bill is contrary to Anglican teaching.¨

Dear Marie Papworth
Press Secretary to the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Lambeth Palace, London, SE1 7JU

Dear Dr. Williams,

I´m not the silent type any longer. I´ve spent decades listening to the bull-crap launched against LGBT Episcopalian/Anglicans and others. I´ve been guilty of listening quietly as friends were verbally assassinated, abused physically and discriminated against...I´ve been known to be a coward, that is, until my beloved loved one of fourteen years was murdered in a crime of hate eleven years ago.

On All Saints day, just past, I took another flowered cross to his tomb.

I´m no longer a coward. I stopped acting like you and ¨being¨ like you over a decade ago. I started taking responsibility for my personal ¨beliving¨ as well as my religious ¨thinking¨ and my everyday actions (especially the ones that harm others directly or indirectly).

As an Episcopalian/Anglican Gay person I suggest that you immediately QUIT taking POTSHOTS at OUR worthy and honorable LGBT sisters and brothers at the BODY of CHRIST...somehow you seem to imagine US to be defiant/noisy rebels and less pius/holy than you. We aren´t very holy I imagine by zealot or snobbish standards, but, in fact, we may be a step ahead in the substantial unanimity holiplace by being in complete agreement with most everyone as the holy spirit worked her way at the convention of the diocese of Los Angeles and beyond at The Episcopal Church/Anglican Communion...you know, Bishop Rowan, WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE! When unanimous, everybody is of same ¨informed¨ mind and acting together as one at The Body of Christ without being threatened or intimidated by pontificating preachers with sometimes less-than-perfect/pure hidden personal flawed character driven agendas.

Many sacred fellowships consider unanimous decisions a sign of agreement, solidarity, and not only UNITY but the very voice of God...often, explanations, personal sharing, questioning (self and others) and the answering of ¨sensitive¨ subjects needs to be done to arrive at such a spiritually healthy and holy place as understanding one another, and Gods ¨will¨ for us with better clarity...it´s a process for us and process of healing and growing...it´s informed unanimity and it can´t ever be bulldozed into ¨being¨ by a private club of some +selfserving/selfrighteous elitists and a handful of superstitious/dangerous Primates who refuse to listen to anything but the sound of their own tiresome demanding voices. It´s about caring about others enough to listen to them and learn from them...it´s humility in action.

Please start paying attention to the REALITY of those of us ¨others¨ who love God and also love our neighbors in the spirit of gladness and UNITY in everyday life. Please stop abusing Episcopalian/Anglicans, please stop being snide to Americans and LGBT Christians everywhere...stop it now and start lifting up your head.

These small, but important, REAL actions of ¨informed¨ positiveness resulting in UNITY are being worked out on a person to person basis often with healthy minded non-despotic spiritual guidance and leadership...enlightenment IS occuring. The kind of enlightenment that has been ignored by several religious extremist PRIMATES and by you personally/recently...you, a teacher, a previously trusted leader, a knowledgeable man, a force that aims for wholeness..it is YOU that must make yourself more clear, and be more self-honest and learn how to say NO to bigotry, convulting truth and the generating exclusion at ALL levels of Anglican Communion life.

We´re not afraid to TRUST God and follow Gods ¨will¨ for us and that is the path that we are on...join us, put your fears aside and follow the ministry of inclusion that you once championed...¨ My entire ¨open letter¨ to Dr. Rowan Williams, HERE

NIGERIAN CONSERVATIVES and their accomplices led by Bishop Ikechi Nwosu of the Church of Nigeria VERBALLY ATTACK

Kingston, Jamaica
May 11, 2009
The 14th Meeting of The Anglican Consultative Council

BREAKING NASTINESS:

NIGERIAN CONSERVATIVES and their accomplices led by Bishop Ikechi Nwosu* of the Church of Nigeria VERBALLY ATTACK AND ABUSE COLIN COWARD OF ¨CHANGING ATTITUDES¨ on ¨public¨ grounds near the Anglican Consultative Council Meeting in JAMAICA TODAY!


Conservatives(?) ¨busy¨ at The Anglican Consultative Council in Jamaica when this picture was taken.

¨I came to Jamaica in the knowledge that it is a very homophobic country and I would need to be very careful and discrete here. I assumed that if I were to be threatened, it would be by a hostile Jamaican man. I was wrong. I have been threatened this morning by Bishop Ikechi Nwosu* of the Church of Nigeria, reinforced by the Ven Dr Abraham Okorie, the Nigerian clergy delegate.

Conservative plots are nothing new to me, nor will they be to those reading this blog. I was reminded of the attempt by Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma to exorcise Richard Kirker at Lambeth 1998.. What has shocked me this morning is Bishop Nwosu’s* attempt to threaten and intimidate me. Isn’t this what conservatives are doing all the time to our Communion, all the time trying to hide behind a façade of niceness and reasonableness?

Stanley Isaacs also leapt upstairs after me and turned his anger on a group of American journalists standing in the foyer. The atmosphere for me now is very unpleasant here. I know there is a Nigerian bishop present whose anger is almost uncontrollable.¨ read it all, direct TODAY from the Anglican Consultative Council MEETING in Jamaica, click HERE


We´ve seen this kind of secrecy and behind-the-scene and disruptive, shameful, secret planning which seems an attempt to manipulate, control and take-over Anglican Meeting outcomes before.The Archbishop of Nigeria, Peter Akinola, at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, during The Primates Meeting in 2007...a silly scampering down the stairs after a hook-up with Martyn Minns, his North American ¨editor/advisor¨ and CANA/GAFCON accomplice.

NIGERIA/CANA redefining The Anglican Communion has been going on from 2004 and long before: ¨The Church is a part of the Convocation for Anglicans in North America A Mission of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, the orthodox group in North America that the World Wide Anglican Communion will recognize in the American Church.¨

RECENT and DEADLY/DANGEROUS ATTACKS against LGBT ANGLICANS/others on-the-ground in AFRICA:

CURRENT proclamations in Africa at the Anglican Communion: Christian anti-LGBT extremist alert, complete updates, smearing, more abusive THREATS and slander from Nigeria and Uganda, read it all, it´s extensive, it´s REAL, it´s dangerous to the physical, emotional and spiritual health of LGBT Anglicans/Christians our families and our friends and other innocents and it´s happening NOW, click HERE

UPDATED MONDAY AFTERNOON: Davis Mac-Iyalla, Director of Changing Attitude Nigeria, has sent a message of reassurance following Colin Cowards encounter with Bishop Nwosu

¨Davis is glad “that I came out alive from an encounter with such people who can do anything to achieve their own goals in the Communion in the name of Christianity.” I don’t think I am at risk of being killed here in the Jamaica Pegasus hotel but Davis’s comment reminds me that many Nigerian LGBT people are threatened with death and killed because of their sexuality.

The incredible anger expressed by the bishop to me shows me what gay Nigerians can expect if they dare to make themselves visible. Davis did that, initially in Nigeria and then from the relative safety of Togo where he received death threats and was physically attacked. The Church of Nigeria claimed there was no proof they were implicated in the threats or attack.

My experience this morning shows me that Nigerian bishops are perfectly capable of threatening and intimidating people – and if they will do that to me in the context of an ACC meeting, how much more feely will they attack and abuse those they disagree with at home in Nigeria...¨ read it all, a note from Changing Attitudes Director, Nigeria, click HERE

UPDATED ON THURSDAY, May 14th (By Colin Coward back in The United Kingdom) Restored relationship with Bishop Nwosu from Nigeria

¨I received a gift in the long queue leading into the Departure Lounge at the Airport in Kingston, Jamaica as I began my journey home. I found myself standing next to Canon Phil Groves and in front of Bishop Nwosu from Nigeria with whom I'd had the unpleasant encounter. We had smiled at each other in passing when we met in the hotel and I had wondered about opening a conversation with him. Now I was given the opportunity as we queued for 20 minutes.¨ read it all, click HERE

STORM ALERT: Bishops Akinola, Orombi, Jensen & Gafcon ¨Only those who have spread the poisons of bigotry and fear have any reason to be afraid...¨

The Bigots´ Last Hurrah


Frank Rich, The New York Times

¨As marital equality haltingly but inexorably spreads state by state for gay Americans in the years to come, Utah will hardly be in the lead to follow Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa and Vermont. But the fact that it too is taking its first steps down that road is extraordinary. It is justice, not a storm, that is gathering. Only those who have spread the poisons of bigotry and fear have any reason to be afraid...¨there is much more, read it all The Bigots’ Last Hurrah, New York Times, By FRANK RICH, click HERE


¨GAFCON thunders. The media yawn¨


¨Paul Handley of the Church Times writes about being the only journalist at the news conference held last week by the GAFCON primates to announce the foregone conclusion that they were going to recognize the churches of the conservative Americans who pay their bills...¨ read it all, click HERE


¨Oh, we shall come through¨

¨...And, for our enemies. Just remember that the fires which you are lighting to burn us will temper us. We shall come through it, face the demons that we fear, and still be what we are. Stronger. Funny that because we are backed into a corner, we are made more capable just because our avowed enemies are so ignorant and illogical in their uptake of what life is!

To all those who were exposed, more power to you...¨ read it all, direct from on-the-ground GAY POGROM in Uganda, click here:


¨Loving the Sinner¨

¨This is the kind of love that this sinner would rather do without. The love of Ssempa, Buturo, Langa, Orombi, and various others. Christians, who hate the sin of homosexuality, but love us homosexuals...read it all, by Gay Uganda, click HERE

PLEASE don´t love us LGBT ¨sinners¨ Bishop Orombi of Uganda.

Anglican Archbishop Orombi of Uganda YOU initiate fear and hate against us...YOU, Bishop Henri Orombi, are dangerous to OUR physical, emotional and SPIRITUAL HEALTH!


Bishop Henri Orombi of Uganda. Gafcon, certified abuser of LGBT Christians/others.

PLEASE don´t love Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender ¨sinners¨ in Nigeria. (either)

Bishops Akinola and Minns of The Nigerian House of Bishops are DEMONIZERS of LGBT Anglicans and others and are supporting NEW anti-LGBT LAWS that persecute us and our families and even our friends for simply ¨being¨. Thanks, but no thanks, we´ll struggle on, alive, without your self-imagined ¨love¨ and unspiritualike degradation!

Anti-Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Bishop fear and hate-mongering ¨pontificators¨ Akinola and Minns of The Nigerian House of Bishops. Gafcon, certified abusers of LGBT Christians/others.

PLEASE don´t love LGBT ¨sinners¨ in Kenya! Bishop Nzimbi, YOUR ¨love¨ marginalizes, outcasts and KILLS US!

ATTENTION Bishop Peter Akinola/Nigeria, Henri Orombi/Uganda and other instigators of HATE: Were you there when they crucified Carl Walker-Hoover?

ELEVEN YEAR OLD CARL WALKER-HOOVER IS A VICTIM OF GAY BULLYING!

¨All Carl Walker-Hoover wanted to do was be a kid, a kid who loved to play kid games, who strangely enough loved doing his homework, helping the needy, and helping out at church his mother said. Carl Walker-Hoover, described as both reliable and generous, didn't deserve to be taunted repeatedly by other kids at school calling him "gay and "fag." Such hatred is hard for a 11 year old to understand when all you have done is be yourself, how can people just hate someone for being themselves? Carl could no longer deal with it and took an extension cord and hung himself...¨read it all, click HERE

ATTN: Anglican GAFCON Participants and other Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Transgender demonizers, bullies and abusive religious zealots.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP THE DEMEANING and BULLYING of LGBT CHRISTIANS and other religious people? Are you responsible for the harm you cause/preach? Mr. BOB DUNCAN, JACK IKER, JOHN SCHOFIELD, GREG VENABLES and PSYUDO-RELIGIOUS RIGHTEOUS ACCOMPLICES why do you FEAR and HATE LGBT children and LGBT adults, our families, our loved ones and our friends? What are your intentions for correcting the abuse that you have initiated against LGBT Christians and others everywhere? You have instigated much harm against YOUR fellow human beings as you preach your selfproclaimed purity codes...it is YOU that defile nature and torment other human beings in the name of a God who doesn´t need your defense--God requests that YOU obey Gods Commandments!

¨Merciless Anti-Gay Bullying Leads To Child's Suicide
With the vicious, relentless, unchallenged, anti-GLBT rhetoric of Venango County-based groups such as the American Family Association of Pennsylvania and Christian Radio Station WAWN, will such a tragedy happen here? We hope and pray not!¨ read it all, click HERE

A suggestion:

STOP INSTIGATING LIES, FEAR AND HATE AT THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION and calling it ¨orthodox¨ beliving! Face your own character defects/sin! You demean Christianity with your vileness directed against fellow human beings. STOP IT NOW! STOP IGNORING HATE CRIMES in MURDEROUS JAMAICA, STOP initiating ¨witch hunts¨ IN UGANDA, STOP persecuting our families IN NIGERIA, STOP hanging LGBT citizens IN IRAN, STOP shooting LGBT citizen IN IRAQ!


Are YOU accountable for YOUR actions and ignorant words when slandering or acting-out against LGBT Christian and others? Are you accountable for the lies you spread against OUR LGBT brothers, sisters, children, extended family members, friends and coworkers?

¨Carl Walker-Hoover, an 11-year old charter school student from Massachusetts, took his own life last week after incessant taunting by fellow students. His story served as an example of the eminent danger some students face as the Minnesota Senate debated — and passed on Thursday — a measure to guide school districts in addressing bullying. It’s a measure that Senate Republicans vociferously opposed.¨ read it all, click HERE

Are you an accessory to CRIMES OF HATE or SUICIDE? Are you a vociferous ¨Senate Republican¨ in Minnesota? Are you secret serial killer-at-large with a serpents tongue spewing GAYHATE? Do you justify your fear and hatemongering, demonizing of Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender people with selective Scriptural excuses or simply for grovelling/pandering wrongminded political reasons?

GUILTY AS CHARGED?
