A vote against world-view education

The Anglican Synod has voted approximately 5:4 to reject a call for general religious education in State schools. It thereby inadvertently supported the local evangelicals who deliver special Christian religious instruction in such schools. In opposing the motion the Chair of ACCESS ministries, Bishop Hale, continued the fiction that special religious instruction is not used for proselytising when in fact that’s just what it’s permitted to do according to the Education Department itself; see answer (8) on 25 May 2010 in the Department’s reply to a Parliamentary question of 25 March 2010. – HG
