As you, I found him to be a fascinating, charming and delightful man. He is more than aware of the fact his country is on a downhill slide to becoming a theocracy. Dominionists from all over the world are working overtime in Uganda and other African countries to adopt Biblical Law as the law of the land. We as a glbt community here in the US need to thank the Bishop for his courage and support of our brothers and sisters in Unganda.

Gay Ugandans are living in a vast spiritual darkness, unanimously condemned by culture and religion and government and society, often in despair, but Bishop Christopher is a light. Perhaps only one candle. But a candle can be seen for a long ways in a very dark night and can be a beacon to guide one to safety. And a candle can ignite a fire, spread the warmth, increase the light. Surely, Bishop Christopher is a light unto the world. I pray for his continued strength to shine.
