THE Bishop of the Anglican Church in Singapore issued a pastoral letter last weekend explaining in greater detail his stand on the involvement of some Anglican women in the recent leadership tussle at women's advocacy group Aware.
Dr John Chew said the tactics they used to gain office raised issues of ethics and propriety, even if they did not contravene Aware's Constitution.
At the same time, however, they performed a 'crucial service' by alerting Singapore society to what was being taught in some sexuality education classes in schools. 'An alarm has been sounded on the promotion of revisionist sexuality norms,' noted the May 10 letter. 'The Ministry of Education has taken commendable corrective action as a first response.'
Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng said this, in an interview to be published in the TODAY newspaper on Friday, on the recent saga involving the Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE).
Mr Wong added that the government¡¯s position on homosexuality is clear, and it will not be pressured into changing its position as a result of lobbying by pressure groups.
At the end of the day, THEY made MOE change the sex educational system.
