People increasingly marry partners from different races and faiths. But are interfaith children benefiting from having mixed influences, or is it confusing and damaging for the family and society?
"I too agree with Pastor Tapiwa's viewpoint. To give children two completely different belief systems can do nothing else than cause confusion, which one should they choose to believe or should they combine the two to create their own religion? "

"I'm Catholic my husband Hindu our children are lucky to have a mixed faith. Ultimately the only real importance is that u bring up a child with some kind of sense of faith. That is what's important. "

"We should not marry outside of our own faith. As a Christian the bible tells us that we are not to be unequally yoked. This is for our own good and the good of our children."

"As a Muslim woman who has known fellow Muslim women in mixed marriage, there is a general level of racism amongst particularly the older generation of Muslims and it is sad to see Mr Raja is carrying on this perception instead of using his place in the commnunity to counteract old perceptions of other religions and races.

"I am a white male whose partner is a Sikh woman. In my family circle we are open of who and what we are, and our intention for the future. Inclusively a part of and considered within family. In her family circle I do not exist, I am totally invisible. "

The Children’s Minister recently claimed that a loving home is more important than race when deciding on the suitability of parents for adoption. How important is it for children to be adopted by families who look like them and share a cultural background?
