Dear Editor,
I was informed that a resolution which I had written and Irvine Branch had moved on the upholding the traditional definition of marriage was withdrawn at the Provincial Convention because it was deemed `too political'. How political is too political? Everything in life which is affected by government policy is political; why single out this issue to evade? I note that the same resolution passed at the convention a few years ago. The structure of marriage and hence the stability of the family is an essential element in the functioning of society. It transcends partisan politics. If the W.I. declines to address a matter affecting the state of society i.e. home and country, why does it exist? Gaining knowledge about the nation's affairs, as we are encouraged to do, inevitably reveals conditions which demand action to effect change. Members are free to vote as they wish on such matters but I think it is derelict to avoid them. Charmaine Wood Irvine W.I.
