    Anglican Diocese says no to gay marriage

    By Yemisi Adeolu - November 27, 2017

    Archbishop Ali Buba-Lamido of Wusasa Diocese of the Anglican Church, Zaria, Kaduna State on Sunday restated the commitment of the diocese against same-sex marriage (gay marriage).

    He made the disclosure while addressing a press conference on the sideline of a pre-Synod held in Zaria, Kaduna State.

    The Synod is celebrated to mark the 20th anniversary of Wusasa Diocese.

    Buba-Lamido said the Anglican dioceses would strictly adhere to the teachings of scriptures, adding that gay marriage had no place in the holy Book of God.

    He said: “Our stand on Biblical principles is unshakable.

    “We will continue to stand on what the Lord teaches us from the scriptures.”

    Buba-Lamido appreciated Most Rev. Peter Akiola, who stood firm against gay marriage right from the time he was Archbishop of Province III.

    He said: “It was during his reign that the Church of Nigeria stood against gay marriage (same sex marriage), especially with the discovered Church of America and United Kingdom.

    “This we have continue to uphold to date.
