POLICE have given United Methodist Church of Zimbabwe members the green light to hold a peaceful demonstration against homosexuality at the church’s headquarters.
This comes after the church’s international conference that was held recently in the United States of America, where 692 national denominations voted in favour of allowing homosexuality in the church, against 51 who voted against it.
The Zimbabwean delegation was among the 51 denominations that rejected and voiced concerns that Western culture was eroding traditional church values and posed a risk to younger generations.
“Your notification letter to hold a peaceful gathering and make a press statement with placards denouncing homosexuality and the departure of the church from the scriptures and doctrine in pursuit of self-interest on the 30th of May 2024 at number 10 Harvey Brown, Milton Park, has been noted,” read part of the memo from the police.
“Please confine your event to the above-stated venue and time outlined. Make sure that no Zimbabwean laws are violated. Police will monitor.
“The regulating authority reserves the right to stop the event should it turn out to be a public order threat or violate any Zimbabwean laws.”
