I would not put Desmond Tutu on a par with the Dalai Lama. For example, the Dalai Lama teaches that ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is a sin whereas Desmond Tutu seems to teach something else.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7100295.stmDesmond Tutu criticises the Anglican Church and its leadership for its attitudes towards ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity.
In an interview with BBC Radio 4, he said the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, had failed to demonstrate that God is "welcoming".
He also repeated accusations that the Church is "obsessed" with the issue of gαy priests.
God must be weeping looking at some of the atrocities that we commit against one another.
In the face of all of that, our Church, especially the Anglican Church, at this time is almost obsessed with questions of human sɛҳuąƖity.
Criticising Dr Williams, he said: "Why doesn't he demonstrate a particular attribute of God's which is that God is a welcoming God.
If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
In the interview, Archbishop Tutu also rebuked religious conservatives who said ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity was a choice.
It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ.
You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.
