Archbishop ‘gravely concerned’ by LGBT proposals in Ghana
from Christian Today:
The Archbishop of Canterbury has distanced himself from Anglican bishops in Ghana who have come out in support of a Bill that would make it a crime to be gay, bisexual or transgender.
The Bill would also criminalise campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights and declaring oneself to be an ally. Those falling foul face up to 10 years in prison.
Gay sex is already punishable in Ghana by up to three years in prison.
The Anglican Church in Ghana, headed by Archbishop Cyril Kobina Ben-Smith, has publicly backed the Bill.
In a statement of support, Anglican bishops in Ghana called homosexual practice “unbiblical and ungodly”.
