Nigerian “same-sex” bill “abandoned” reports Changing Attitude

[Anglican Mainstream] 30 Mar 2007--Davis Mac-Iyalla who attended the Primates Meeting in Tanzania like others as a press representative confirms that with the closure of the current session of the Nigerian Parliament, the “same-sex bill” in Nigeria has now been “abandoned”. That part of the press release is consistent with the paragraph in the following letter to the Church Times today that, contrary to many reports, Anglican leaders have been working to uphold human-rights issues in the proposed legislation on homosexuality. The alternative scenario to be avoided would have been for Sharia law with its fatal penalties to be enacted.
