“Definition of Marriage” – Responses to the letter I sent to several federal politicians regarding the Synod of the Anglican Church of Tasmania’s resolution regarding the definition of marriage:
Dear …. , Definition of Marriage I write on behalf of Tasmania’s Anglican community regarding the Definition of Marriage. The Synod meeting in June confirmed its commitment to the definition of marriage under Commonwealth law, that is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life. I would ask that you bring this resolution of the Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Tasmania to your deliberations on this issue. Yours sincerely John D Harrower OAM Bishop of Tasmania
Here are some responses I have received thus far:
I support the Anglican churchs definition of marriage being between a man & a woman and ask that the government votes to retain this definition.
The Bible states that marriage is only to be between a man and a woman. These people wishing to alter this status quo do so at their own risk. We have to ensure that the sanctity of the present law is maintained to prevent corruption of that law by gay and lesbian influences to-gether with misguided polititions who believe that only they know what is best for the general public. Should the general public allow this,then, such change will, in time destroy the family and social structure which under pins our present social living structures.
