Salvation Army supports Homosexual agenda

The Salvation Army has backed away from the controversial Safe Schools Coalition after its ­surprise support of the program sparked a backlash from ­mem­bers.

Just a fortnight after the ­Salvation Army’s Victorian branch strongly supported the program, the organisation has quietly released a revised national statement.

“Whilst acknowledging such positive outcomes (to address bullying), the Salvation Army cannot unconditionally support the Safe Schools programs in Australia in their current form,’’ the statement says.

“We believe there needs to be consideration and refinement to the scope and form of implementation.”

The Salvation Army, one of the world’s largest Christian ­welfare organisations, was inundated with complaints from members in the days after it ­publicly ­declared support for Safe Schools Homosexual promotion program last month.

Several members of Victoria’s Liberal opposition, including education spokesman Nick ­Wakeling and colleague Inga Peulich, met senior Salvation Army ­figures to discuss the ­program.

The anti-bullying program, which has been adopted by more than 500 schools across the country, has divided the community due to its controversial founder, LGBTI activist and Marxist Roz Ward, as well as its promotion of contested gender theory, homosexual promotions, gay porn sites, gay agenda, gay confusion and gay lies.

The program’s federal funding will not be renewed next year, but the Victorian gov­ernment has stepped in, ded­icating $1 million to its further rollout. Andrews Government needs to be thrown out.

The Salvation Army, which has previously come under fire for its treatment of the LGBTI community, surprised many when it ­welcomed the Andrews government’s funding commitment.

“The Salvation Army’s Victorian state council has been aware of the negative claim about the Safe Schools program and its related material,” it said at the time.

“It is also aware that there are claims that the program promotes cross-dressing, teaches kids that their gender is ‘fluid’ and ­provides instruction in chest-binding (so that girls can appear as boys).”

State chairman Geoff Webb said the Salvation Army’s social policy unit had ­reviewed the ­official teaching ­resources and studied the federal government’s independent review of the program.

“None of the negative claims made about the program actively reflect anything in the official ­materials reviewed,” Dr Webb said at the time. What a foolish inaccurate and false statement. 

But Friday’s revised statement, titled Salvation Army Announces National Position on Safe Schools, reiterated that while the organisation was deeply concerned about the wellbeing of LGBTI students, any government-approved anti-bullying program “needs to consider all high-risk student groups”.

“To this end the Salvation Army is open to working with state and federal governments and other agencies to develop a program that more comprehensively addresses the issues associated with bullying within schools,” it said. But no statement was made regarding the sin of homosexuality. 

Dr Webb did not respond to ­requests for further comment at the weekend but Salvation Army national media spokesman Bruce Redman said that while the initial support was ­delivered with the best intentions, subsequent investigation revealed significant state-by-state variations in the way the program was ­delivered. This is untrue the contents was pro-homosexual and clearly pornographic and very misleading and against everything the Bible stand for. 

“In Queensland, for example, parents are very much involved, and they can choose to opt in or opt out,” Dr Redman said. Unfortuantely, the Qld Government has not released information on which schools are offering the program. Parents are in the dark. 

“But to issue a blanket edict and say, ‘everyone’s involved ... we’re just going to deliver the program’. That probably needs to be looked at.” But this is not good enought, as we have been told clearly what the contents of the program contains - it is gay propaganda. TSA seem oblivious to this fact because they would rather have Government funding than stand for biblical truth.

Mr Wakeling, whose party has called on the Andrews ­government to immediately dump the program, confirmed he had been involved in meetings with senior Salvation Army figures in which the program was ­discussed.

“I don’t think the issue here is so much about the ­Salvation Army changing its position,’’ he said.

“What it really demonstrates is that this toxic program has little or no support in the wider community.’’
