Dear Mr. Prime Minister
RE: Constitution
I understand that the Special Joint Committee on a
Renewed Constitution has recommended inclusion in the preamble to the
Constitution meaningful references which acknowledge the supremacy of God over
this nation and the importance of spiritual values.
I understand these references include:
"We affirm that our country is founded upon
principles that acknowledge the supremacy of God,..."
"We recognize that we remain free only when freedom
is founded on respect for moral and spiritual values,..."
I wish to encourage you and to thank you in exercising
your leadership to ensure that these appropriate, significant, and foundational
references are properly included in our Constitution.
We are encouraged throughout Scripture to be in pursuit
of these ideals and I include two references (taken from the Good News Bible):
"Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord" (Psalms
33:12).
"A nation without God's guidance is a nation
without order" (Proverbs 29:18).
Please be assured that many across this nation continue
to uphold in prayer yourself and others in key leadership positions so that you
may be given the grace and courage and confidence to make these God honouring
decisions particularly as they affect our Constitution.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours truly
Randall F. More, P. Eng
