That was a fast turnaround! Anti-gay Anglican leaders last week vowed to split the international movement and start their own sect away from gay friendly leaders. Something must have happened between Friday and today, because the conservatives now say they'll stay:

Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi, Primate of Kenya and leader of that country's four million Anglicans, and the Ugandan Primate Archbishop Henry Orombi confirmed last night that there will be no split.

Archbishop Nzimbi's comments are especially significant because he is heading the committee that will draw up the final communique to be issued on Sunday night.

It also confirms the word behind the scenes in Israel and as disclosed by The Times on Monday, that the agenda is now reform from within rather than starting a breakaway conservative Anglican church that excludes homosexuals or tried to "convert" them to heterosexuality.

Where's a cheer leading pussy when you need one?

Ugandan Anglican Archbishop Henry Orombi's a man on a mission. A homophobic mission, that is.

The so-called holy man's attempting to educate the nation's educators on the gay dangers. Speaking in Kayunga, Orombi claims Uganda's teachers are more concerned with getting the kids in school than properly educating them on acceptable social behavior:

Acts of homosexuality and lesbianism have infiltrated our schools, especially secondary schools. I have personally joined the war against the vice and I want you to join me.

While he's asking his countrymen to join his anti-queer crusade, Orombi insisted he and his righteous comrades won't be teaming up with America's pro-gay Episcopals, even if it means giving up precious financial aid:

We shall not associate with them even if it means losing aid. We rather remain poor than accept aid which will in the end lead to moral decay of society.

Religious fanatics never cease to amaze us - this man would rather he and his countrymen go hungry than deal with their gay-friendly Christian cousins? That's some fucked up shit.
