[Religiou Intelligence] 23 Aug 2008--The President of Uganda has applauded the decision taken by that country’s Anglican Church not to attend the 2008 Lambeth Conference, and urged the Church of Uganda to stand firm against the “decadent culture” of the West.

Speaking at the consecration of the Bishop of Mbale on Aug 17, President Yoweri Museveni praised the church’s moral clarity. He called homosexuality “mtumbavu” or “stupid” in Swahili.

“Don’t fear: resist and do not compromise on that. It is a danger not only to the believers but to the whole of Africa. It is bad if our children become complacent and think that people who are not in order are alright,” the president said.
