Group Behind Ugandan Anti-Gay Bill is Organizing in Canada's Parliament

[ccharles000]

The Ugandan branch of an evangelical group called "College of Prayer" played, as a new talk To Action report details, a major and little noticed role organizing and inspiring legislators behind the pending Anti Homosexuality Bill due to come before Uganda's parliament early in 2010. Homosexuality is already legally a crime in Uganda that can lead to lifetime prison sentences, but the new bill would mandate the death penalty for homosexual acts and critics have called it "genocidal" and charged that the bill could require the execution of HIV positive Ugandan citizens.

College of Prayer members in Uganda's parliament have spearheaded the push for the new anti-gay bill and, as a story posted on the main College of Prayer website quotes College of Prayer Canada head Rev. David Chotka,

"I have three-twelve members of the Canadian Parliament who have heard about what God is doing in Uganda and would like to attend the Parliamentary COP in Uganda next year. They are interested in bringing the College of Prayer to the Canadian Parliament."

The article concludes, "It seems that God continues to expand our spheres of influence. The extraordinary favor of God is resting upon us. All glory to His name!

As the Talk To Action report, Rick Warren's Dissertation Advisor Leads Network Promoting Uganda Anti-Gay Bill details, the president of Uganda's College of Prayer, Julius Oyet, has extensive ties to networks associated with C. Peter Wagner's New Apostolic Reformation. Peter Wagner is perhaps the world's leading expert on church growth, and he is an unabashed Christian supremacist. Wagner was also advisor for Rick Warren's 1993 dissertation... on church growth. The report traces ties and parallels between Rick Warren's and Peter Wagner's ideologies and global networks.

1. President Obama should offer political asylum to all Uganda's gay citizens

I can't help but think Canada will prove barren ground for the College Of Prayer's seeds of hate.

7. We'll send them packing

There are very few fundamental Christians in Parliament and if they brought ANYTHING to the floor of the House of Commons, they'd be shut down immediately.

Canadians passed gay marriage laws with very little opposition and even less public protest.

We don't put up with these extreme homophobes here - and if they're discovered to be elected officials, they're GONE in the next election.

11. Seems like this newfangled evangelical "god"

acts exactly like the same old devil. Steal money, gather political influence, foment and cheerlead war, genocide; yup, all check. I don't care how much jeebus they mouth off with, it's purely the devil's work in their hands.

13. Yep, "beware of the devil in disguise." That's what I learned as a little kid. Many

of these people today wrapped in their robes of religion are clearly practitioners of evil IMO.
