.The Archbishop of Canterbury, The Most Rev Justin Welby, has said the Church of England accepting gay marriage could be "catastrophic" for Christians in other parts of the world. <br /> .Hundreds of Christians in Africa had been killed by people who associated Christianity with homosexuality. <br /> .. .Speaking on his first live phone-in on LBC Radio, Archbishop Welby recalled visiting a grave in South Sudan where 369 people had been buried. <br /> . .He said the victims had been killed because local people believed allowing a Christian community to exist would mean "we would all be made to become homosexual". <br /> ."That burns itself into your soul", he said. "As does the suffering of gay people in this country." <br /> . .He also spoke of visiting a group of Christians in Africa who had been attacked because of policies of churches in America.
