The Kill Gays bill, as proposed, would require that a doctor, counselor or pastor would have to report gay people who confided in them to the government or face prison time themselves.

The Church of Uganda said, “We don’t want to be forced to do anything or be subject to punishment, just throw the unrepentant gays in prison instead.”

1. Ensure that the law protects the confidentiality of medical, pastoral and counseling relationships, including those that disclose homosexual practice in accordance with the relevant professional codes of ethics.

Does this mean to say that if a doctor, counselor or pastor were to report to the government that their client is a homosexual (that under this proposed law they’d be required to do) that the doctor, counselor or pastor’s identity would not be revealed??

I hope that’s not what it means! Someone please correct me by saying that it means that doctors, counselors and pastors would NOT be subject to the requirement that they report if a client claims to have engaged in homosexual behavior. Please??

” Welcome to the Diocese of the Holy Spirit web site. Our Diocese is a non-geographic, transitional diocese. We offer a home within the Anglican Church in North America for churches—particularly those that have been under the Church of Uganda—located where a regional diocese has not yet been organized.”

ACNA is NOT part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. In North America the Anglican Communion has two provinces: the Anglican Church of Canada and the Episcopal Church.

ACNA is recognized by some Anglican provinces such as Uganda and Peter Akinola’s Nigeria.

It’s actually rather worse than I’d first thought. I wonder why the Monitor has so mischaracterized the release.

For the commenter @Fitch above I’ll send some information about which FORMER parishes in The Episcopal Church USA are now affiliate themselves to The (Anglican) Church of Uganda in my next comment.
