Missionaries should not be allowed to proselytize

Dear Editor,

Ms Kanhai’s letter in the Guyana Chronicle ‘Our diversity is the beauty of Guyana’ (30.4.08) is timely but its contents are unsettling!  I wish to sincerely thank Guyana Chronicle for the moral courage to publish the letter. 

It is indeed incomprehensible that in 2008, missionaries still are allowed to practise proselytization (conversion of someone to a different religious faith).  One would think that gone are the days when people would de-nounce other religious faiths under the guise of a nebulous religious umbrella.  It is evident that the moral compass of these individuals is grossly misaligned!
