A church achieved what the PAP failed to do. It got 6,400 converts to Wear White.

Anything you can do, I can do better.

Some 6,400 Christians wore white for the Sunday service on June 29, 2014 at Faith Community Baptist Church (FCBC) held at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre.

This was a day after the annual pro-lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Pink Dot event that drew 26,000 people.

Nevertheless, it was a good turn-out for the church considering the fact that the first Pink Dot event only drew 1,000 participants. The Straits Times noted that 90 percent of the 2,500 attendees also wore white at Bethesda (Bedok-Tampines) church.

The worshipers had donned white to support a group of Muslims, who organised a Wear White movement to protest against Pink Dot and to promote traditional family values.

According to Channel News Asia, FCBC senior pastor Lawrence Khong "reiterated that he worked with homosexuals and did not have issues with them". However, he urged them to "defend the idea of a family unit as one comprising a man and a woman".

Below are photos from the church service, which kind of looks like a political convention:

First, they have a group selfie:

 

Second, they also say the pledge.

By the way, what's up with the photo editor at The Straits Times?

The photo that accompanied the story did not enhance the story at all. It did not: 1) highlight the scale of the event; and 2) feature the worshipers in white.

In fact, it looked like a photo of shoppers taking an escalator in a mall.
