Homosexuality sin says evangelist after launch of Malawi gay group

A U.S.-based Zambian Seventh-day Adventist evangelist visiting Malawi has condemned homosexuality as an "unthinkable" sin, after the launch in the central African country of a movement to promote gay rights, reports Ecumenical News International.

"We shouldn't just rely on what people say but what the Bible says, that's where the most important opinion is," the evangelist, Chiwena Kabanje, was quoted as saying by The Sunday Times newspaper of Malawi.

"The Bible clearly states that Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because of gays. Sin then, is still sin now," said Kabanje, who is on a month-long crusade in Malawi's commercial capital, Blantyre.
