William Cook The Spectator Taking the God option: why I send my children to C of E schools
“No, it’s not because they get better results, but because they teach peace, hope and compassion”
William Cook’s article makes one feel it might be worthwhile being an Anglican after all.
Re: Jesse Zink on the Anglican Consultative Council, nothing particularly new here, but it is helpful to have it chronicled. Among the items Zink catalogues , “The 2016 ACC meeting also took the discomfiting step of electing a Primate — the Most Revd Paul Kwong, of Hong Kong — as its chairman..” Discomforting indeed. Archbishop Kwong has not been popular with pro-democracy activists in Hon Kong, Christians among them.
Frustrating to see Richard May labouring under and perpetuating the delusion that the Church of England is the UK Church, and that our experiences of episcopacy in other Anglican UK churches are somehow the same (hint: they’re not).
I can’t read the Spectator article, but is William Cook saying that state schools don’t teach peace, hope and compassion? Really?
I have a child in year 6 at a community primary and they teach Sats, sats and more sats with very little attempt at a broader curriculum, let alone much in the way of values. The article may have a point.
