Africa and the Middle East, News & Politics

Africa has a reputation for being anti-gay…it’s just the level of persecution that varies. But is this stereotype still valid.  Tonight we venture to one of the countries showing increasing hints of acceptance – but how far will it go?  Tonight we’re off to Swaziland.

• Is it possible to form working relationships with Churches in Swaziland?
