My Story

Should we put religious instruction to the vote? Is it fair and reasonable to ask parents to vote on whether or not to close a secular school and promote some people’s religious faith? I don’t think so!

It’s a shame that we even have to think about keeping our local primary school honest but unfortunately, without someone keeping watch, it is amazing how much religious influence can creep in if no one steps up and asks some hard questions.

So the Board of Trustees elections are over and the votes are counted. Find out what happened and how it went down. It wasn’t quite as vicious as Trump versus Clinton but it was pretty close!

For some time now, I’ve had the odd pamphlet promoting Christian beliefs popping up in my mailbox. You know the ones… the Grapevine or Watchtower […]

The Churches Education Commission has been contacting congregations all over the country asking their parishioners to pray and write to the Ministry of Education and their MP’s to encourage them to support their case for retaining Bible in Schools classes. I thought I would contact one of them and see what they thought!

Whenever the topic of Bible in Schools comes up on facebook, there’s a lot of supporters who have opinions about why bible classes are important and how the world will end if it’s taken out because our kids will turn to the dark side and the gates of hell will open. But do any of their reasons hold water?
