Summary: The Promotion Of Standards (Press, 12 April 1978)
On 9 April 1978, Hugh K. Gaw expressed his objection to H. G. Oram's assertion that those who do not adhere to the moral standards set by the Society for the Promotion of Christian Standards (S.P.C.S.) are deemed immoral. Gaw, identifying as both a Buddhist and a homosexual, contended that the belief in a unchangeable moral law is not universally accepted. He highlighted that throughout history, both Christian and non-Christian social laws have evolved, drawing a parallel with the shift in Sweden's driving rules from right-hand to left-hand traffic. Gaw further questioned the notion of a loving God who promotes discrimination and oppression, asserting that Christian morality represents only one of many ethical systems in existence today.
