Nigerian Gay Church Resume Operations In Lagos by fedrick901(m): 10:12pm 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 Nigeria in 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 son of a
reverend who owns a massive church in Lagos,
is leading the comeback even though he remains
in self-imposed exile in London, where sources
said he currently enjoys lots of financial
sponsorship for the movement.
Unlike in the pre-2008 when the church openly
operated at Jakande Estate, Isolo, and Berger in
Lagos, Macaulay, who is the backbone of the
movement, is not secretive 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, the church 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

TBH I have nothing against them,cos we should not be hypocrites they have been openly gay folks for centuries. my own problem is when the do it in the open and public places. They can have their own bar church,cinema sef I don't give a phuck.but don't be romancing each oda where everyone can see including kids
