Scripture classes lose half of students to ethics, say Anglicans
Anglican Churches are up in arms in New South Wales (Australia) over the trial of an ethics course in 10 NSW primary schools. The course is optional and is intended as an alternative to the optional scripture classes now been given by untrained volunteers. The problem the churches have is that in the trial schools enrollment in scripture has dropped by 47% as students pick the more rational choice.
