Archbishop Davidson Urges Gospel Core in Public Schools
The Archbishop of Canterbury Rev Randall T Davidson in Bristol in October 1903 argued the gospel should form the essential basis of school work. He asserted that teaching Christian character is the noblest aim, supporting religious instruction for all children whose parents desire it, and urged schools to teach the full gospel rather than a secular, purely ethical approach.
