What should be the Church's priority?

What should be the Church's priority? "Homosexuality of bishops", "The Information and Communication Technology", or "poverty, corruption and hunger"?

I totally agree with this columnist.  It appears that the conservative Anglican leaders think that information and communication technology (ICT) is a new religion is challenging all churches.  Specifically, it identified the Internet, mobile phones, iPods, and video games.

"A columnist in the Ugandan Sunday Monitor thought the sight of African bishops breathing fire and taking a hardline against homosexuality was comical, to say the least. He wondered whether their priority should be what is happening far away in Europe and North America, or the poverty, corruption and hunger which are wasting the lives of millions of Africans."

I am not sure the Internet, mobile phones, iPods, and video games are a threat to the church in the Congo.  Poverty, corruption and hunger are the big threats to the church and society in the Congo.
