British Homosexual Priest to Marry Nigerian Male Model
08.21.2010 - ThisDay Newspapers

A homosexual Church of England priest has announced plans to "marry" his Nigerian male model boyfriend, who is 40 years his junior.

The Rev Colin Coward, 64, a priest at St John the Baptist church in Devizes, Wilts, is to enter into a civil partnership with his boyfriend Bobby Egbele, 25.The union has caused a stir among Christians because the couple plan a carefully-worded "blessing" service in church after the ceremony

Mr Coward has also declined to confirm that he will remain celibate following the union, which is a requirement the Church of England asks of its ordained homosexual clergy.
Mr Coward, who lives with his boyfriend in Marston, near Devizes, said he hoped his union would set a “visible example” to other homosexuals within the church.

He said: “My goal is for everyone within the church to feel comfortable with the situation because at the moment the majority of gay Christians marry secretly.
“It is a taboo subject but the church is now under huge pressure to change its stance and that pressure will only increase in the future.

“Clearly the blessing is going to be quite a sensitive issue. I know that many people will see it and view it with horror.
“But we are both deeply committed Christians so it would be unthinkable for me not to do it in church and not to do it with the congregation and with all of our friends.“I hope my wedding will inspire others and set a visible example to the church that we are not afraid.”

I trust Nigerians any bad thing wey white man do, we no go waste time follow suite. The thought of homosexuality in the house of God being appraised when been highly criticised and even alluded as the cause of destruction of people in the bible intensely disgusts me.

This world is coming to an end. How will they even procreate?

They cud utilise their sperm, get donor eggs, arrange for surrogacy and Bam! They have kids like other straight couples. Technology makes life easy for both the good and the bad.

As long as they are happy, which of my business is it? And for those bringing up the bible, the white man--the missionaries brought religion to us.
