WORRIED....
The Family Bulletin of the useful organisation Family and Youth Concern arrives in the post. It includes a detailed analysis of the Govt's new Sexual Orientation Regulations. The full implications of these, and especially the restrictions they carry on the teaching of religious and moral; values to children, have not yet been fully graped by many (most?) Christian organisations or other community groups. It looks as though even the giving of private advice might be subject to the possibility of legal action, for example a priest urging people to uphold the principle of male/female marriage and not to do anything which blurs the distinction between this and a homosexual union.
I think a lot of people are simply hoping that these Regulations will be largely ignored or will simply go away. Hmmmm. They come into force on April 30th.

The bulletin on their website is Winter 2006/7 - are you talking about a more recent one?
I can't help but feel that "sleeping christians" are to blame for the upper hand these laws and regulations now have. Would they have come anyway?..most likely...could we have done more?..of course! The problem is we are not playing them at their own game. Not only do we have to declare our rights as they do, but we have to drag other religions into it as the govenment will think twice about putting these same restrictions on a lets say...muslem school. We need to wake up!
I am extremely concerned about these regulations and the effect they are going to have on schools, as is my parish priest. Unfortunately I'm unsure of what action can be taken, other than to see how it all pans out. I am reseaching homeschooling though, just in case - although I suspect the government have already thought of that too.
God bless.
I'm not convinced at all that we can trust the government to do the best for children these days. At best they'll tolerate good Christian values, but that's becoming increasingly rare, as we're seeing. Maybe homeschooling would be best all around.
Yes, Homeschooling is an option, but there has been in the news a report of girl from a christian family being homeschooled in Germany and was taken from her home because of it. There is NO evedience that this girl should have been taken from her home. It looks to me as persecution of some type against this christian family.
There's all the evidence in the world for those that want to find it. If memory serves, the girl is reported as being loyal to her father and to her family, preferring them to the State. Evidently she must be severely mentally unhinged, the poor child. State psychiatry, this use of it seems horribly familiar.
