Over the years, a handful of Christians have not been silent against these issues. For this, they have all been jailed under the Internal Security Act for fostering communal unrest. As Biblical literalists, they consider their imprisonment as faithfulness to Christ. But you are not in jail. Rather, I believe that you are an Anglican, pursuing the via media , and that you and many of us want to prevent the religious and racial bloodshed of the 1960 s when Chinese and Malay people killed each other.
Scriptural literalism is eventually fatal.
Not that we get killed, but that we end up killing others. Living in peace and prosperity among people of different beliefs Singaporean Christians have therefore revised their understanding of scripture in light of our experience. In a multi-religious society, we do not condemn each other but let reason, tradition and experience help us interpret scripture. Similarly, as gay and lesbian Christians live their faith in Christ openly, Christians around the world are re-thinking their traditional antagonism towards homosexuality. Because of the violence against gay people, the Bishops you accuse of revisionism are making an important pastoral decision to rethink the issue.
