LONDON, June 9 (Reuters) - The Archbishop of Canterbury has urged the Anglican Church of Uganda to reject the country's new anti-LGBT law, saying there is no justification for Anglicans anywhere to support legislation that goes against the Christian teachings of the Gospel.
Under the law, approved by President Yoweri Museveni in May, gay sex is punishable by life in prison while "aggravated homosexuality", including transmitting HIV, attracts the death penalty.
Justin Welby, leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, said he had written to Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba, the Primate of Uganda, to express "grief and dismay" at the church's stance.
"There is no justification for any province of the Anglican Communion to support such laws: not in our resolutions, not in our teachings, and not in the Gospel we share," Welby said in a statement on Friday.
Kaziimba said in May he was grateful for the new law. He said homosexuality was being forced on Uganda by "foreign actors ... who disguise themselves as human rights activists" and went against Ugandans' religious and cultural beliefs.
The Church of Uganda says 36% of Uganda's population of around 45 million are Anglicans.
The Anglican Communion, which numbers tens of millions of people across 165 countries, is deeply divided over the ordination of gay clergy by some churches in some Western countries, and attitudes towards same-sex marriage.

Archbishop of Canterbury, a.k.a. pedophilic groomer, wants the raping of children to be legal, or merely a slap on the wrist.
THAT is what the most severe punishment of the new law addresses.
I urge Uganda to tell the “ARCH”bishop to re read his bible. Just sayin’......
Hope the Ugandans tell them to pound sand.
Arch Bishop of Buggery.
This abominable apostate has never read the Bible. Preaching the gospel of Faggotry comes straight from Satan.
He probably will!
Welby the sodomite
He likes his job and high position among the elite globohomo crowd. Jude prophesied of guys like him, for example, verse 16:
“These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.”
Can we send black African missionaries to Europe to convert the white heathens of Europe to Christianity?
My thoughts exactly!
And the US of A while we’re at it?
Welby will die one day soon and wake up in burning flames! He has rejected the Torah and the G-d of Israel. God is not mocked. May He Bless the courageous leaders of Uganda.
Africans may yet save humanity from its descent into Sodomic chaos.
Sounds a lot like updated, 21st century, post-modern colonialism.
I guess he missed the *Go and sin no more* part.
He also needs to read Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 6, and Acts 15.
There is nothing Christian about condoning sin.
Just like is happening around the rest of the world, particularly here in the US.
Stand strong, men.
That country has really been through the wringer over the last 50 years and they came out of it scarred, but okay yet this wonker apparently doesn’t think so...
I know a few Ugandans... between Idi Amin and Aids the country has been ravaged. Many left for other African countries now being courted by the Chinese or dominated by radical Islam. To hear them reminisce is heartbreaking... a lot of stories out of 20th century Africa are just terrible. Absolute horror, satanic...
