[Religious Intelligence] 4 Jul 2008--Speaking in response to statements made by the candidate’s wife last week that posited a moral equivalency between the push for gay marriage and the civil rights movement, Archbishop Henry Orombi said: “It is distressing that Barack Obama, a fellow African, would promote racial civil rights as morally equivalent to immoral civil behaviour.” On June 26, Michelle Obama told the Democratic National Committee’s Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council the gay rights movement was the natural successor of the civil rights movements of the 1960s. “We are all only here because of those who marched and bled and died, from Selma to Stonewall, in the pursuit of a more perfect union,” she said.

However, Archbishop Orombi said: “We are Africans and know the difference between moral behaviour and responsibility as opposed to civil rights being compared to homosexuality.” On June 29 he told ReligiousIntelligence.com during the close of the Gafcon Conference in Jerusalem that Anglican Africans were firm in stating that the “unchangeable standard of Christian marriage” was between one man and one woman and that homosexual practices were immoral.

In the last few days Oboma came out in opposition to the proposed ban on gay marriage in California. His religious beliefs approximate those of Presiding Bishop Schori: Christianity is just one way to God. He is also pro-abortion. He certainly does not represent the interests of Christian African Americans.
