Pastors in Blantyre have advised Parliament not to waste tax payers money and time discussing legalising homosexuality as it is a useless act.
The statement was made on Thursday during a homosexuality debate organised by Blantyre Pastors Fraternity which is under the Evangelical Association of Malawi.
All the participants in the debate condemned homosexuality, saying it is a wicked act that contravenes the Bible teaching and the country’s culture.
Chairman of the fraternity, Reverend Vincent Chirwa said although homosexuality is outlawed, Malawians have to accept the fact that it is being practised secretly and be able to speak against it.
He added that the argument that homosexuality is a generic make-up is just there to advance the belief that homosexuality is proper.
“The issue should be about our culture and not the generic make-up as scientists say. As the church we are saying no to legalising homosexuality because it is against our culture and bible teaching,” said Chirwa.
Apostle Willie Chaponda of Mustard Seed Church said it is wrong to legalise homosexuality in the name of freedom, saying “not everything that a person wants is good no matter how much freedom one has.”
“It is a shameful act. Even those practising it are shy to come up in the open. The fact that it is practised in Western countries does not mean it is something good. Not everything from the West is good,” said Chaponda.
And Bishop Mercy Tchika of Love of God church said it is very disappointing to see that Malawi which declared herself a God-fearing country is involved in such wickedness.
“Malawi needs transformation. There is so much wickedness in this country,” said Tchika.
