Church speaks tough on Homosexuality

As the debate on whether Malawi should bow down to the donors and legalise homosexuality continues, founder of the Soul Winners Church Rev. Maurice Katema has warned against legalising homosexuality, saying the country will pay heavily for it as it is against God’s.

In an interview with Malawi News Agency (Mana), Rev. Katema said the prolonged dry spells the country has experiencing in many parts is as a result of some quarters of life engaging themselves in the ungodly acts, and the nation needs to wake up and repent.

Said Rev. Katema: “As Malawians, we need to tread carefully with the homosexuality issue. This is an abomination in the presence of the Lord.”

Asked whether Malawi could make it without donor support, Katema said it was only through God that Malawi could make it and no destruction would happen to the country.

Meanwhile, Rev. Katema has cautioned other religious leaders who are for homosexuality, saying “they are provoking the anger of God”.
