Nigerian Gay Church Resume Operations In Lagos by ChisomMalachy(m): 11:18am On Mar 03, 2013
Less than five years after Nigeria-only gay church, House of Rainbow,
was attacked by some Lagos residents and consequently closed down in
Nigeria, the church has returned to the country with three secret
groups in the African most populous nation.
With this development, Nigeria appears to lead other countries where
the church currently operates.
Founded by Nigerian-born gay, Rev. Rowland Jide Macaulay, House of
Rainbow, which came to Nigeriain 2006, is "an inclusive and affirming
religious community open and welcome to all people including sexual
minorities and marginalised people, a monthly gathering of 'people of
faith' for 'prayer and praise', which focuses on the person's journey
towards reconciliation of sexuality and spirituality."
Macaulay, a trained lawyer and sonof a reverend who owns a
massivechurch in Lagos, is leading the comeback even though he
remainsin self-imposed exile in London, where sources said he
currently enjoys lots of financial sponsorshipfor the movement.
Unlike in the pre-2008 when the church openly operated at
JakandeEstate, Isolo, and Berger in Lagos, Macaulay, who is the
backbone of the movement, is notsecretive of the meeting places and
time of the church in Nigeria, but has instituted a very stringent
process to screen prospective members of coming to join the church.
It was learnt that aside Nigeria, thechurch has two groups each in
Ghana and United Kingdom (UK).
"We now have new groups in Malawi and Ghana. There are currently three
groups in Nigeria, two each in Ghana and the UK and one each in
Malawi, Lesotho and Burundi. All these groups are managed by
volunteers,who are appointed through a rigorous 'Local Leader
Application' process.
"We currently have 12 appointed Local Leaders in 6 countries.
Currently we have over 25 outstanding applications for local leaders
including, but not limited to the following locations: France,
Netherlands, Cote d'Ivoire, Sierra-Leone. This has continued to
strengthen the interest and work of House Of Rainbow particularly
in Africa," Macaulay

I do not understand why they would continue to follow a religion whose god hates them. They would be better off throwing religion in the rubbish bin and living their lives free of superstition.
