[Sydney Morning Herald] March 23, 2005--An African bishop has announced he will not accept more than $US350,000 ($445,000) of funding to help AIDS victims in his area because it comes from a US diocese that supported the election of a gay bishop two years ago.

Jackson Nzerebende Tembo, the bishop of South Rwenzori, Uganda, rejected the money from the US diocese of Central Pennsylvania, saying its clergy and bishop, Michael Creighton, endorsed the election of Gene Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire in 2003.
