Paul Mwaura serves as a pastor in an Anglican Church in South Africa, and he has recently married John Maierepi, who is also an Anglican priest from Kenya. Both individuals received support and congratulations from their respective congregations, with many sharing photographs of the wedding on Facebook and expressing their happiness for the couple.

The wedding took place in South Africa, attended by members of Mwaura's church. The couple was met with enthusiastic cheers and applause as they exchanged vows. However, this warm reception does not reflect universal approval of their union. Several anti-LGBTQ religious news outlets, including Reformation Charlotte and Benin Web News TV, have reported negatively on the marriage. Despite facing such criticism, the pastors continue to promote a message of love.

"Sexual orientation is inherent, unchosen, and immutable; please refrain from judgment and do not harm the anointed ones," the couple stated in response to inquiries about their sexual orientation.

We hope that the story of Paul Mwaura and John Maierepi reaches a wider audience, and that their message of love resonates even with those who harbor hatred and intolerance.
