Tanzania: gay question is ‘not central to faith’ says bishop

The Bishop of Central Tanganyika, the Rt Revd Godfrey Mdimi Mhogolo, has said that the issue of homosexuality was not fundamental to the Christian faith. “We share the sufferings and hurts of the people we serve...We also work for the hope of glory in trying to transform the lives of our people, regardless of their colour, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and social status”, he added.
