http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/11/11/16553

the link contains an excerpt from a letter sent Canterbury by a Nigerian who has suffered under Akinola and is now in exile. This appeared in one of the London newspapers. Bishop Rowan no longer can claim ignorance of the horror about to take place in Uganda.

In Germany they first came for the Communists,

and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,

and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,

and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me —

and by that time no one was left to speak up. — Martin Niemöller

And then, they came for the the gays. Hatred and fear are the same, only the targeted group changes. Thanks for speaking up, Mary.
