The Anglican Bishop of Auckland wants parents, communities, and the church to raise their voices to protect children against the scourge of methamphetamine.
"Gangs and others push this addictive stimulant and teenagers are often the targets of free samples," the Rt Rev John Paterson said.
"Labeling it as `P' is a cynical marketing ploy, giving the impression of a clean and wholesome drug, when it is nothing but evil," said Bishop Paterson.
The Auckland Anglican Diocese synod has been meeting for the past three days and today delegates were to consider how to best add the church's support to stop the spread of methamphetamine and related offending.
