Thread Name: BS:Christian Persecution? School funding in Israel
Subject: RE: BS:Christian Persecution? School funding in Israel
Well I taught in a Catholic school for six years and a Church of England one for eleven, and all the children in both were subjected to frequent services and assemblies in which they were forced to chant prayers and sing hymns. Free thinking was not encouraged at these events. What happens in your seminaries, which, I would point out, occurs within a tight ringfence of assumed belief, is not a reflection of what happens in ordinary faith schools. I do have experience, you know. Religious instruction is not the same as education in religion. The key difference is the word "education".
