First, its a scare story from the perspective of the writer, who obviously considers any Christian presence in school is bad. the New Apostles thing is only bad because more aggressive and more controlling. <br /><br />Second, its good news from the perspective of the NAR. <br /><br />Third, its useable to undermine the NAR, on behalf of saner forms of Christianity (or even Orthodoxy eventually) if kids who are solidly educated in Scripture and what is wrong with NAR and similar groups were to start speaking up in those groups or to them.Christine Erikson (aka Justina)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11594093718714798117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811759406816927421.post-38689653704589855632012-03-07T17:42:10.361-08:002012-03-07T17:42:10.361-08:00The article seems to be a bit of a "scare sto...The article seems to be a bit of a "scare story", though I have seen that kind of thing happen, when a supposedly non-denominational organisation (like the Child Evangelism Fellowship in the story) is taken over by a group with a particular theological axe to grind. <br /><br />It happened here with a similar organisation called Scripture Union, whose aim was to encourage children to read the Bible. In one city it was taken over by a group of ultra-Calvinists, who used it to push their ideology in a very aggressive way.Steve Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283123400540587033noreply@blogger.com
