Group of Protestant/Orthodox Churches in India Accepts Court Ruling on Homosexuality

A forum of Protestant and Orthodox churches in India has said homosexuality is “a natural or genetical reality”, adopting a radically different stand from other influential Christian denominations across the world. The National Council of Churches in India (NCCI), which represents around 1.3 crore Christians in the country, also said the rest of the Christian world needed to “rethink’’ its stated position that homosexuality is a sin against God. The statement came in the middle of a debate in the country on rights of homosexuals, triggered by a Delhi High Court order that legalised consensual adult sex among gays. An appeal against the verdict is now pending in the Supreme Court where the government has dropped hints that it no longer opposes legalising gay sex. Full Story from The Telegraph
