GAY CHURCH IN LAGOS. Can it Stand?

The first gay church in Nigeria opens its doors to gay members in Lagos.


House of Rainbow Mission Statement:
House Of Rainbow is committed to basic Christian Gospel, that the love of God is freely available to all people, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Statement of Vision: We are on a bold mission to transform hearts, lives, and history. We are a movement that faithfully proclaims God’s inclusive love for all people and proudly bears witness to the holy integration of spirituality and sexuality.

The church, House of Rainbow MCC Lagos Nigeria, accessible online via its blog, has about 30 gay members and is headed by the gay Rev. Jide Macaulay who dresses in rainbow flag bellow.

In a country where homosexuality is a crime punishable by 14 years imprisonment, the establishment of the church is a bold step.

But besides its legal implications, how can House of Rainbow even reconcile its mission with the Christian doctrines?

For example, The Book of Leviticus of the Bible; chapter 20 and verse 13 states:

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Doesn’t House of Rainbow’s mission contradict biblical principles?
