A gay old hui?
Bishop Hui Vercoe, newly installed as the head of the Anglican Church in New Zealand, has caused a minor storm with his comments in the Weekend Herald.
Bishop Hui is not happy about rampant homosexuality, particularly in the church. He puts this down to his cultural heritage as much as to Biblical injunctions.
But it seems that Bishop Hui doesn't know his own culture, going by the reaction. He's even accused of "endangering young people".
I suspect that the homosexual lifestyle endangers young people a darn sight more than Bishop Hui's comments ever will. When you look at the health statistics alone, homosexual practices are not conducive to a long life (but in this PC world you are supposed to embrace any lifestyle, no matter what the consequences).
