BIBLES

One morning in a school that I worked in many years ago, I went to the parade square and was surprised to find many students reading Bibles.

They were reading pocket-sized Gideon Bibles. I asked the students where the Bibles came from. One of them told me a man outside the school was giving out the Bibles.

Is it ok to give out Bibles outside a school?

Article 15 of the Constitution of Singapore says, “Every person has the right to profess and practise his religion and to propagate it.”

It also says, “This Article does not authorise any act contrary to any general law relating to public order, public health or morality.”
