Evangelical group 'shocked' by order legalising homosexuality‎

The Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI) today expressed shock and sadness over the legalizing of homosexuality by Delhi High Court on Thursday.

Calling it an "extraordinary verdict", the evangelical body said it was "shocked and saddened by the judgment" that has struck down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) that made homosexuality "illegal" since 1860.

"In a secular state a distinction is made between God's unchanging moral laws and man's legislated social laws - civil and criminal. Decriminalization of homosexuality in no way changes the moral order. It is common sense to recognize that homosexual practice is a violation of the natural order," Rev. Richard Howell, general secretary of EFI, said in a statement.

"While all sin is sin, all homosexual activity is essentially sinful, whether it is done by singles or by gays or lesbians involved in committed relationships," he added.
