Southern Baptists Should Leave Government Schools

I got this link from Daryl Cobranchi at Homeschool and Other Education Stuff. T.C. Pinckney and Bruce Shortt plan to introduce a resolution at the Southern Baptist Convention in Indianapolis next month calling on all Southern Baptist parents to pull their children out of the public schools and give them “a thoroughly Christian education, for the glory of God, the good of Christ’s church, and the strength of their own commitment to Jesus.”
These guys sound serious, and they say they don’t care whether the resolution passes or fails. At least, consideration of such a resolution will force Southern Baptists to think about the issues involved in sending their children to public schools where they are indoctrinated in a secular worldview. I’m going to look up the organization these men are involved with:
“Both Pinckney and Shortt are involved in a ministry called Exodus Mandate, which seeks to educate Christians about the nature of public schools and encourages them to take their children out of that environment.”

  1. Hi Sherry,

    I was intrigued to see this topic in your blog. I am a Southern Baptist myself, and I can tell you that this resolution will really ruffle some feathers! Many, Many SB’s see the public school as a mission field and are deeply committed to sending their kids there to be salt and light.

    If you follow this issued, don’t be surprised to see some fireworks :o)

    Thanks for dropping by my blog the other day, and thank you for linking to it :o) I’ve been popping in and reading here, and I’ve really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work :o)

    Vienna.
