I shouldn’t be too hard on baptists… they do some good things…

Baptist activists: Pull kids out of school
A resolution that will be considered by the Southern Baptist Convention next month calls on the millions of members of the denomination to pull their kids out of government schools and either homeschool them or send them to Christian schools.

Introduced by a well-known leader of the SBC and a Baptist attorney, the resolution asks “all officers and members of the Southern Baptist Convention and the churches associated with it to remove their children from the government schools and see to it that they receive a thoroughly Christian education, for the glory of God, the good of Christ’s church, and the strength of their own commitment to Jesus.”

The authors use Scripture in the resolution to argue those Baptists who trust the public-school system with their children are being disobedient to God.

“Government schools are by their own confession humanistic and secular in their instruction, [and] the education offered by the government schools is officially Godless,” the measure states.

Noting that “the millions of children in government schools spend seven hours a day, 180 days a year being taught that God is irrelevant to every area of life,” the resolution says, “Many Christian children in government schools are converted to an anti-Christian worldview rather than evangelizing their schoolmates.”

We watched Thirteen Conversations About One Thing last night, at the recommendation of Denis Haack of Critique.

I enjoyed it, though it definitely requires another viewing to pick up on a lot of the details. I’m not sure I’ll be able to watch it again before Friday, when its due back at the rental place. It also has an audio commentary with the director, writer and someone else… I’m not exactly sure what he does. But, that commentary would probably be worth listening to.

Anyone else seen this movie? Thoughts?
