Petitionon Against the Degradation of Our Faith

A Call For The Most Revd Dr John Chew and All Faith Leaders to Protect Against the Degradation of Our Faith

To: Most Revd John Chew and Christian Faith Leaders

The Church’s stand on the issue of homosexuality is unequivocal and steadfast. While the Christian community should remain resolute in the defense of our beliefs, we must not let the actions of few degrade our faith through their manipulation of the flock.

By signing this petition, we stand together as brothers and sisters in Christ, to voice our concerns over the unbecoming usurpation of leadership in AWARE.

We have to ask ourselves - no matter the existence of good intentions - do we want to build our houses on rock, or sand? If we allow the New Guard of AWARE to conduct themselves through subterfuge and not openness, through force and not dialogue, where will we be left standing when the storm comes?

By signing this petition, we call for our leaders to provide the spiritual compass so that we do not veer down the path of self-destruction. We ask not for your stand on homosexuality, but on the conduct of a few running their own doctrine by using God’s authority in vain.

“This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
in vain do they worship me,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"
-- Matthew 15:8-9

Our faith is built on acceptance not polarization. On love and not contempt. And this petition is testament of that.

Sincerely,
