| Message | most legislation is framed in a way that it is not restrictive in terms of identity, race, ethnicity, religion or disability. The 3 proposals attached to this bill would relate to religious influence. It would be the view of the KSDLP that current legislation would be restrictive, church and state should be as separate as possible with the state not influencing who can be a minister and certainly not dictating to schools how classes can be started, this is a decision for individual schools to make. Regarding Foreign Missionaries, there are many faiths across Terra and to continue to restrict foreign visitation is withholding an opportunity for citizens to find deeper meaning in their faith through prayer and philosophical discussion with ministers of their church from different countries. |
