Dear Editor,
Our nation continues to experience a grave and deepening social and economic crisis rooted in the erosion of moral and spiritual values. As Christian leaders with the contingent of believers that we serve directly numbering over 500,000 (not including all denominations), and the general sentiment of the majority of the rest of the citizens of our nation, we register our full support of the position taken by the media houses, TVJ and CVM, and others, not to have carried the advertisement being proposed by Mr Maurice Tomlinson.
It was indicated to the stations by some of us that, had those advertisements been carried, we would have registered our strongest objections. We had registered our objections then and remain resolute to uphold the fundamental values and moral principles of our faith and that of the founding fathers of our nation.
We declare that we will mobilise and resist any attempt to tamper with the constitution as it relates to the buggery law. Our present Charter of Rights sufficiently covers and protects the rights of all citizens.
We will not support any politician or political party that seeks to promote and foist on our nation, in any shape or form, the gay rights agenda which is alien to our culture.
We respect the right of privacy and freedom of personal choices. We believe and demand that Government and the Courts bear in mind and uphold the constitution of our nation and the will of the majority of our citizens.
We will not sit by and allow the thinking of less than 1% or any weak-willed Government to lead us into simply following other nations along a path that is not in our best interest.
We are a nation with a proud history of leading on points of principle and values, upholding our pledge to lead in advancing the best welfare of the whole human race. We want all to be aware that, on this issue, and the deteriorating conditions of the poor and justice, the majority of us, church leaders, stand united.
