Ni tangu mwezi February mwaka huu kanisa la Anglikana lilipiga kura kufungisha na kuzibariki ndoa za jinsia moja.
Nilitegemea kufikia mwezi huu makanisa ya Anglikana hapa Tanzania yawe matupu kwa sababu sisi watanzania tunayapinga mahusiano ya mwanaume kumruhusu mwanaume mwenzake kumuingiza uume kwenye sehemu ya haja kubwa (samahanini kama maneno ni makali ila imebidi niweke kwa uhalisiai zaidi)
Inakuwaje hili kanisa hadi sasa kuna watanzania wenzetu bado wanaabudu

Church of England votes to offer blessings to same-sex couples
The Church of England has voted in favour of a motion to offer blessings to same sex-couples in civil partnerships and marriages.
A near-eight-hour debate across two days ended in a vote for the motion on Thursday at a meeting of the General Synod - the church's parliament.
The Synod's three houses all voted overwhelmingly in favour of the motion.
Within the motion, Synod members also voted to "lament and repent" the failure of the Church to welcome LGBTQI+ people - and for the harm they have experienced, and continue to experience - in churches.
The motion did not seek to change the position on gay marriage, meaning same-sex couples are still unable to marry in church.
Immediately before the vote a minute of silence was observed followed by a prayer said by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Approval of the motion allows same-sex couples to go to Anglican churches after a legal marriage ceremony for services including prayers of dedication, thanksgiving and a blessing.
The motion had been brought by the Bishop of London, Dame Sarah Mullally, and was the result of six years of work on questions of identity, sexuality, relationships, and marriage known as Living In Love And Faith.
Earlier this week Synod members also met in small groups to consider and comment on a set of draft texts known as Prayers of Love and Faith, which could be used voluntarily in churches for couples who have marked a significant stage of their relationship such as a civil marriage or civil partnership.
