Move to pull Bible teaching from British schools sparks concern
AP reports a plan to remove religious instruction from Drfai's area in Britain raises alarm in the Church of England. Anglicans warn that parents may not ensure proper faith education and question sources for teachers. A recent Institute of Christian Education survey shows strong support for keeping religious teaching. Some teachers argue the US example shows dangers if scripture is excluded, noting parental responsibility and teacher availability as key issues.
