Letter: The word of God
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: So the Bishop of Mityana, Uganda, refused to hear a presentation from lesbian and gay Christians for "the same reason we would not let a prostitute give her ideas to the conference" (report, 4 August). Does this man really represent Christ, one who welcomed the company of prostitutes in the face of the Pharisee's prejudice (Luke 7, 36-50) and who warned the hypocritical leaders of the established religion that they would be preceded into heaven by the "tax collectors and the prostitutes" (Matthew 21, 31). The bishop might heed these words, lest he find himself on the Day of Judgement being forced to surrender his seat to a homosexual!
