Nigerian Gay Church Resume Operations In Lagos
2 March, 2013
Less than five years after Nigeria-only gay church, House of Rainbow, was attacked
by some Lagos residents and consequently closed down in Nigeria, the church has
returned to the country with three secret groups in the African most populous
nation.
With this development, Nigeria appears to lead other countries where the church
currently operates.
Founded by Nigerian-born gay, Rev. Rowland Jide Macaulay, House of Rainbow,
which came to Nigeria in 2006, is “an inclusive and affirming religious
community open and welcome to all people including intimate minorities and
marginalised people, a monthly gathering of ‘people of faith’ for ‘prayer and
praise’, which focuses on the person’s journey towards reconciliation of
sexuality and spirituality.”
Macaulay, a trained lawyer and son of a reverend who owns a massive church in
Lagos, is leading the comeback even though he remains in self-imposed exile in
London, where sources said he currently enjoys lots of financial sponsorship
for the movement.
Unlike in the pre-2008 when the church openly operated at Jakande Estate,
Isolo, and Berger in Lagos, Macaulay, who is the backbone of the movement, is
not secretive of the meeting places and time of the church in Nigeria, but has
instituted a very stringent process to screen prospective members of coming to
join the church.
It was learnt that aside Nigeria, the church has two groups each in Ghana and
United Kingdom (UK).
“We now have new groups in Malawi and Ghana. There are currently three groups
in Nigeria, two each in Ghana and the UK and one each in Malawi, Lesotho and
Burundi. All these groups are managed by volunteers,who are appointed through a
rigorous ‘Local Leader Application’ process.
“We currently have 12 appointed Local Leaders in 6 countries. Currently we have
over 25 outstanding applications for local leaders including, but not limited
to the following locations: France, Netherlands, Cote d’Ivoire. This has
continued to strengthen the interest and work of House Of Rainbow particularly
in Africa,” Macaulay
