Catholic Bishops want more in Malawi demos
The Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM) has issued a statement urging Malawians of all walks of life to take part in the planned national wide pro-life and pro-marriage march scheduled for Decembers 6.
The bishops approved and endorsed a plan to hold the joint nationwide demonstrations called Citizens march for life and family with the Evangelical Association of Malawi (EAM).
In a statement signed by Secretary General Henry Saindi, ECM repeated that human life is under direct attack through the proposed “Termination of Pregnancy Bill” and that marriage between man and woman is also under attack from those pushing the legalisation of homosexual practices and unions.
“The objectives of the match are in two folds; calling upon all Malawians of goodwill to stand up for life by saying no to the proposed Bill. Human life must be respected, preserved and defended from the moment of conception.
We are also calling upon all Malawians to stand up for the institution of marriage and family. Marriage between man and woman must be protected, supported and strengthened and not undermined. We want to say no to gay and lesbian unions and practices,” reads the statement in part.
