CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. June 15, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Today the Presbyterian Church in America voted to receive a personal resolution encouraging Christian parents to remove their children from the public schools and see to it that they receive a thoroughly Christian education. The resolution was offered by Rev. Steven Warhurst with sponsorship from Dr. D. James Kennedy, President, Coral Ridge Ministries Media, Inc., and Ruling Elder Joel Belz, founder and publisher of World Magazine, along with several others. The resolution will be debated in the Bills and Overtures committee, then it will be brought to the floor of the assembly on June 15 or 16 for final consideration and a vote.
The resolution argues that the Bible teaches that Christian parents are to give their children a truly Christian education, teaching them to think biblically about all of life. Further it argues that the Public Schools are not giving children a Christian education. Therefore, Christian parents should remove their children from the Public Schools and give them an education that teaches them to think biblically about all of life. This resolution is a shortened version of a similar resolution offered at the Southern Baptist 2004 Annual Meeting.
E. Ray Moore, Jr., Director of Exodus Mandate said, "We are encouraged by the openness of the PCA 33rd General Assembly in allowing this resolution to be debated in a fair and equitable way. We hope and pray that other evangelical denominations, especially the Southern Baptist Convention, meeting on June 21-22 in Nashville, will have the same openness concerning the resolution "To investigate homosexuality in Public Schools," offered by Drs. Bruce Shortt and Voddie Baucham."
