UPPSALA, Sweden (RNS/ENI)

The newly-elected Lutheran bishop of Stockholm says that being a lesbian means she wants to stand alongside people who feel powerless.

Bishop Eva Brunne said it clear on the website of the Church of Sweden immediately after being elected, "I'm in the lucky position of power, and I can help those who have no power."

As the first Bishop of the Church of Sweden to be in a registered homosexual partnership, Brunne is currently the dean of the Stockholm diocese.

Are UK Muslims Less Tolerant of "Gays" - Than Other European Muslims?
A Poll Says "Yes"

U.K. --  According to a recent poll, the Muslims of the United Kingdom seem to be much less tolerant of the idea of Muslims becoming "gays" (homosexuals) than the Muslims of other European countries, France in particular.
Out of one thousand and one Muslims interviewed, not one accepted homosexual acts to be appropriate. While surprising to some, this clearly indicates British Muslims to be more adherent to the simple and basic interpretations of Islamic teachings.
This has liberals and modernists in an uproar, claiming the UK is home to the "Most orthodox and backward Islam in the world".

Homosexuals and their supporters say Jews, Christians and Muslims who do not consider homosexuality as being O.K. are "homophobic". One claims that, "Islam does not have established reform movements, making it too easy for orthodox Islam to be spread."
