Desmond Tutu: “I Must Imagine God is Weeping”

Addressing church leaders at a conference in London put together by global poverty charity Tearfund, Archbishop Desmond Tutu accused his church of “persecuting the already persecuted” in its attitude towards the GLBT community.

“We really will not be able to win wars against so-called terror as long as there are conditions that make people desperate, and poverty, disease and ignorance are amongst the chief culprits,”

He also said;

“We seem to be engaging in this kind of, almost, pastime while there’s poverty, hunger, disease, corruption. I must imagine that God is weeping, and the world quite rightly should dismiss the Church in those cases as being totally irrelevant.”

I would aslo suggest to any readers that watching the documentary “The Bible Tells Me So” in which Desmond Tutu also speaks is a must watch for any on in, or in support of the GLBT community…..as well as those who remained closed to acceptance thereof.
