Will homosexuals hijack PCC synod elections?

There is a growing disquiet among Christians and well-wishers of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, PCC, in the run-up to elections into the church’s hierarchy.

This follows persistent rumours that a different kind of Ebola virus albeit in the name of homosexuality is eating up the fabric of the church.

Any PCC Christian who professes ignorance of this growing and disturbing threat is not only dishonest but an enemy of the church and one who is determined to see its demise.

Conversely, real Christians and sympathizers are perturbed, even scandalised, that their church, their faith would all be subjected to a sodomic and gomorrhic era of leadership.

The church is at pains to acknowledge even remotely that all they have built on since the days of the early missionaries through the church’s independence in 1957and up to its present exalted standing, is going to be sodomised by a leadership that would be identified with bahaviour that is a striking distance from what the Christian faith preaches and prescribes.

The entire PCC community is said to be currently embarking on a soul-searching mission and asking itself many salient questions. Will the PCC degenerate into an inglorious institution given its spiritually momentous achievements of the past 100 years? Christians are asking what becomes of the church in the face of this onslaught from the devil.

Will homosexuality permeate the church and turn people aspiring to sainthood into demons? Can a church that has survived so long and surmounted so many hurdles allow itself to be infested by a few demonic adventurers moved by their sheer greed and inglorious sexual escapades?

We say No for, “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done well, to stand.

“Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.

“Above all, taking the shield where with ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” (Eph. 6:12-16).

The PCC must stand up against the fiery darts of the rising spectre of homosexuals within its ranks and especially its leadership.

As admitted by Christians of all denominations and most recently by one of Cameroon’s leading Roman Catholic cleric, Christian Cardinal Tumi, “homosexuality and lesbianism are not only grievous ethical faults, but crimes against humanity”.
