Moses Tay

Moses Tay

Moses Tay (Moses Tay Leng Kong; 鄭靈光) was the 7th Bishop of Singapore from 1982 to 1999 and the first Archbishop of the Province of Anglican Church in South East Asia from 1982 to 2000.

In 1982, Dr Tay was installed as the 7th Bishop of Singapore.

On 2 February 1996, Dr Tay was installed as first archbishop of the new Anglican Province of Southeast Asia by the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr George Carey.[1]

Philip Jenkins notes that when Tay visited Stanley Park in Vancouver in the early 1990s, he was deeply troubled by the totem poles he saw there. He concluded that "as artifacts of an alien religion, these were idols possessed by evil spirits, and they required handling by prayer and exorcism."[2] Jenkins goes on to suggest that this behavior "horrified the local Anglican church," which "regarded exorcism as an absurd superstition."[2]
