Pastor Rick Warren has urged Rwandans to resist manipulative donors who intend to give Aid on condition of respect and or adoption of gay rights.
Pastor Warren was answering Questions raised by Journalists. He said that every nation must safeguard their sovereignty.“Forcing People to do what is against their culture and beliefs amounts to Blackmail”.
Homosexual acts are illegal in most of African countries. Many people see it as violating religious and cultural beliefs.
The issue of giving Aid on condition of respect of gay rights was raised by the British Prime Minister David Cameron at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting recently held in Perth, Australia.
Pastor Warren splashed his Rwandan Diplomatic passport saying he is Rwandan. He is also a member of President Paul Kagame’s Advisory Committee.
The subject of hormosexuality cameup in many questions raised by journalists. Pastor Warren noted, “I am against homosexuality and adultery. I am also against sex before marriage. If you believe in the purpose driven life, you can’t believe in homosexuality.”
Responding to scientific claims that some men are attracted to fellow men, Pastor Warren said, “its not a sin to have an attraction but it’s a sin to act that way. Action is choice while attractions are not choice. If all people do what they are attracted to, the world would be crazy. “You can’t have sex with all women you are attracted to. You need to make a choice.”
Pastor Warren has been in Rwanda to witness the graduation of more than 3000 health workers in Karongi district under PEACE plan training. By the end of year over 6000 health workers will have been trained. The same initiative will be replicated in all the 30districts in the country.
