From the London Daily Mail: More news from what was once the land of the Venerable Bede, Duns Scotus, Thomas More, John Wesley, William Wilberforce, and C. S. Lewis:
A foster mother has been struck off the register for allowing a Muslim girl in her care to convert to Christianity.
The woman, who has looked after more than 80 children in the past ten years, is considering suing the council over the decision.
Do you think there would have been any problem if she had allowed a Christian child to convert to Islam?
Last April, they ruled that the girl, now 17, should stay away from church for six months.
No coercion was involved:
Of the Christian convert, she said: ‘I did initially try to discourage her. I offered her alternatives.
‘I offered to find places for her to practise her own religion. I offered to take her to friends and family.
‘But she said to me from the word go, ‘I am interested and I want to come.’ She sort of burst in.’
Somewhere an English World War II veteran is lying in a bed in a rest home, asking, “What did I fight to protect?”
Tip: Threedonia.
Lars; the horror stories from England (Britain)are almost without end. I read recently of grandparents (in custody of a grandchild) who had the child taken away by social workers, and given to a homosexual couple. Why? They were supposedly too old. (Ages 60 and 46, as I remember.) They complained and ‘social services’ threatened they would never see the child again if they continued in their complaints.
– In my opinion these are the fruits of Pietism, and Christians supporting the collectivist state.
M. Please explain how that could be the fruit of pietism. How are you defining that word?
‘I did initially try to discourage her. I offered her alternatives.’
Had the girl wanted to learn more of Atheism and pole dancing, I’m sure the mother would have been in just as much trouble trying to discourage her. And I’m sure there would be no 6-month moratorium.
They have also just denied Greet Wilders (he produced what is being called an anti-Muslim film) entry into England. The Brits know that to allow him in would be to set the Muslim population on fire in the UK. He is being tried for hate speech in the Netherlands.
Since our rootstock is British, can our self-pruning be far behind?
That’s ridiculous! We should pray boldly for Britain and America (anywhere really) that the gospel would be preached and lived well throughout those countries.
