Comments on: Church Schools http://safle.org/wordpress/2006/10/01/church-schools.html Pretentious Waffle from Wales Sat, 03 Mar 2012 19:18:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mrs Meg Logan http://safle.org/wordpress/2006/10/01/church-schools.html/comment-page-1#comment-1588 Mrs Meg Logan Thu, 05 Oct 2006 13:10:19 +0000 http://safle.org/wordpress/2006/10/01/church-schools.html#comment-1588 Somehow I doubt that the Amish school children will do the same, as most of them will come to the Lord and be able to forgive. But a grudge is not an excuse! Being molested is not an excuse or a justification of molesting others. Our sin (if we are in Christ) is within our control. If we are not, well, then they are under the law, and there ought to be no holding back of the fullest judgement of the law here on earth. I would pray however(and offer opportunity), that those people would accept Christ's forgiveness before they meet with the guillotine/chair or however we decided to dispense justice. Mrs Meg Logan (as you can tell I have pretty strong feelings in this area, but am not well versed. I feel there is something wrong with your thinking on it, but cannot reason what or how. Perhaps together we could delve more deeply into the issue of earthly justice.)

They say the shooter held some kind of grudge for some childhood event - but how many of these schoolchildren could do the same one day. An example of how Christian forgiveness and healing could be so much more powerful than the desire for retribution. Thanks for your comments.

We will never understand what passes as "logic" for those who are without Christ. Complete lunacy. And I really hope they don't ever make the schools in the UK like the ones here in the US. Did you hear that even the one room school house of the Amish is no longer safe here? There was a hostage situation from a man (not an Amish man) who shot up an Amish school. sad sad sad. Mrs Meg Logan Oh Good Grief!

Now we're moving toward Homeschooling for those that really want to give their children a solid education. Seems that we have come full circle. I attended Garth Hill School in Bracknell, Berkshire when I was over in England back in the 80s. Not a Church school, I believe, though they had a priest speak at an assembly. It was supposed to be one of the better schools in the area at the time. In any case, great post.
