Swaggart remarks on gays spark backlash and church reaction
The Sept. 12 Swaggart worship service drew laughter as he warned he would kill a gay man who looked at him romantically. He later apologized, saying the line had been used many times. The letter notes the issue amid broader concerns over hunger, water, and inequality in a world seeking unity. The Manitoba move to legalize same sex marriage is mentioned as a related development.
