The head of the Anglican Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has condemned homophobic language used by the Archbishop of Nigeria.
Last week, Henry Ndukuba issued a statement referring to "the deadly virus of homosexuality" and said secular governments were adopting an aggressive campaign to promote homosexual culture.
In an unusual move, Justin Welby has criticised his fellow Anglican archbishop, saying the statement was unacceptable and dehumanising.
He has also written a private letter to Archbishop Henry, saying that his statement was incompatible with the church's teachings.
