Rejected petition The Government to recognise marriage between one man and one woman
More details
DUTIES OF GOVERNMENT
Governments are appointed by God and are His agents to punish evil and reward good behaviour as reflected by the Bible’s definition of right and wrong.
We want the Government to recognise, within legislation, that marriage is between one man and one woman for life and is the only context in which sexual practice and the raising of children should be endorsed and promoted;
To ensure parents retain the right to withdraw their children from sex education, which does not affirm abstinence from sexual relations until marriage as the best means of reducing pregnancy and disease arising from sexual intercourse. Even where Biblical sex education is taught parents should be able to determine the age at which their children are exposed to it, if Marrage is re-defined.
