Samoan call against same sex couples

1:50 pm on 13 July 2006

A church pastor in Samoa has called on the government to ban same sex couples.

Pastor Viliamu Mafo'e of the Worship Center Church , one of the fastest growing churches in the country, says Samoa cannot tolerate homosexuals because the practice is against the teachings of the Bible and the constitution.

Pastor Mafo'e, who was speaking at the opening of the Samoa Holy Ghost conference, said homosexuality should be banned and leaders should be proactive to stop it from spreading.

He said same sex couples are not allowed by God and the country should not tolerate it.
