The pews are often virtually empty on Sunday mornings at Harare's St Mary's and All Saints Anglican cathedrals, but this is Bishop Nolbert Kunonga's "throne" and he is prepared to defend it with violence. ...Kunonga regards the cathedral as a prized asset among hundreds of church properties he has taken over in a fight that has demonstrated the impunity enjoyed by President Robert Mugabe's allies. ... Also last Sunday, 15 000 members of the rival faction led by Bishop Chad Gandiya were attending a mass held by Williams in a sports arena. Kunonga rustled up a crowd of women, who marched outside the cathedral where he was preaching to denounce Williams. One placard read: "Homosexuals must die."
It is Kunonga's central claim: the church is at risk of being overrun by homosexuals and he alone stands in its defence. MORE
