In a strongly political rallying speech Destiny church and political party guru Brian Tamaki has told his massed followers that they must move beyond their church and get politically active. Tamaki told the anti-CU protest crowd that it is "not enough to stay within the four walls of the church," and that prayer is not enough. He reinforced his call to action by saying that "it is moral suicide" for a church group to not get political. While his references to gays were more muted than in the past and claiming that "we are not against the homosexual community" he described glbt people as having "chosen" to get involved in "destructive sexual practises." His speech was punctuated by wild cheering from the crowd which has filled Auckland's Myers Park following a march up Queen Street.
