Abstract

WEST, Gerald; VAN DER WALT, Charlene  and  KAOMA, Kapya John. When faith does violence: Reimagining engagement between churches and LGBTI groups on homophobia in Africa. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2016, vol.72, n.1, pp.1-8. ISSN 2072-8050.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v72i1.3511.

'Homophobia' is shorthand for stigmatising attitudes and practices towards people who demonstrate sexual diversity. In this article, we reflect on how African Christian faith may become redemptive rather than violent in the context of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex forms of sexuality.
