"One of them said they were saddened by the stand taken by the Anglican Church in Kenya and other countries over the appointment of the gay bishop.
"I told them we could not budge on the issue and that we will oppose it to the end because it is un-Christian," said Oketch.
He said his reply did not go down well with his colleagues who then grabbed him and threatened to beat him up before members of the public noticed the commotion and came to his rescue.
He said the clergymen hurled abuse at him over ACK's stand as they were being pulled away by members of the public.
The two clergymen seemed to be acting out of demonic hatred. Every once in a while, something happens that demonstrates the spiritual element of some controversial issue. I am glad that Bishop Oketch and other African Christians are standing their ground. I think Christianity has largely become superficial in the West because life is easy here and too many self-indulgent people have become attracted to positions of authority, and too many lazy or timid people will allow the self-indulgent bullies to do whatever they want. If you look to countries in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe, you will find many people who have been on the threashing floor of persecution, war, or poverty -- this will separate the wheat from the chaff. If God raises up leaders who will revitalize Christianity in the 21st Century, somehow I doubt that these people will come from Europe or even North America. We have been given much, and we have squandered so much.
The Muslims have been murdering African and Asian Christians by the boatload, the poor Kenyan bishop has real poverty and hardship and martyrdom to deal with. Why does he have to put up with spoiled, narcissistic, gay-apologists in his own church on top of the real problems he and his people deal with every day?
