I find that topics in EH usually disintergrate into flame wars(as with the rest of this forum). Since at the Catholic forum, people a bit more 'peaceful' and since it sos quiet and all...Originally posted by laurence82:Duplicate topic?
Already got one topic in EH liao
I posted the article...
I think you have got it wrong. Since when was evangelising part of education?Originally posted by plo30360:Recently, there has been a lot of noise about Christian schools evangelising their non-Christian students.
While, I understand the MOE's stand to keep things secular, surely parents and the MOE should know that a mission school sees education being based upon Christian values.
Of course, evangelising must never be shoved down the throat of the unwilling.
But recently(ok maybe not so recently) there was a article which stated that, certain Catholic schools totally forbid evangelising in school(they say outside school is okay,IMHO that defeats the purpose of a mission school).
It is resonable for evangelising not to be done during lesson hours but say after lessons have ended?
Finally, the Gospel is meant to be preached(lived out as well), are we negelcting are our Christian duties to evangelise or we choose to evangelise only in certain situations?
Personally I think that the command to evangelise is not restricted to education.Originally posted by shade343:I think you have got it wrong. Since when was evangelising part of education?
Actually, both sides take it wronglyOriginally posted by plo30360:Personally I think that the command to evangelise is not restricted to education.
Certain principals of Catholic schools have stated that apart from the name they don't want anything related to religion within the school premises.
Eventually, I feel at this rate, it will become like a situation where mission schools will be no different from secualr schools.
that's the problem everywhere.Originally posted by laurence82:Actually, both sides take it wrongly
Christian schools can still continue holding mass or chapel service, and preach Christian values.
What annoy me is that during my years in ACJC, Muslims are allowed to walk away from chapel service, while other non Christians were held back, albeit bit tenaciously.
And, I am also quite disappointed with some of the peeps, including my principal and some preachers. Most just drone on abt Christian values and bits of scriptures, at time, you wonder, are they delivering god's word and practise what they preach?
I really wonder how true this is.Originally posted by plo30360:Personally I think that the command to evangelise is not restricted to education.

My former school also has Legion of Mary. I'm still in it.Originally posted by Honeybunz:I really wonder how true this is.
If I am not wrong, St Pats allow students to join Legion of Mary as CCA.
