In his sermon, Scott Brown discusses the topic of homosexuality in Malawi, noting that the country still enforces anti-sodomy laws with harsh prison sentences. The current president is under pressure from the European Union to repeal these laws, as the EU is threatening to withhold financial aid unless changes are made. Despite this, a significant portion of the Malawian population opposes homosexuality, rooted in traditional beliefs and the moral foundations established by their forefathers. These beliefs view homosexuality as a sin and an abomination before God. However, there is a noted lack of unity within the church on this issue, which affects how the topic is addressed in the country.

At the men's conference we talked about homosexuality. I gave a message about it and everybody knows that Malawi still has anti-sodomy laws, prison sentences of over a decade for committing that crime. And now Malawi has a president that is giving signals that she would like to see those laws destroyed, because the European Union is threatening to withhold their donations unless you destroy your anti-sodomy laws. What's your take on that whole situation? I mean, one thing I know is that the majority of the Malawians are actually fighting against homosexuality.

But I would say that, you know, I once heard a man say that, you know, we are fighting against homosexuality with our traditions. I mean, that's true, but behind all that is the foundation that I was talking about that our forefathers laid for us that there is the knowledge in people's hearts that this is a sin and this is blasphemy, this is an abomination before God and that's where it's coming from and that's why people are resisting this even though the church is not speaking as one voice against homosexuality. Thank you.
