Should the Church keep out of education? David Robertson vs Terry Sanderson - Unbelievable?
Playback speed
The National Secular Society recently raised concerns that Christian groups were infiltrating RE lessons in order to evangelise at schools. Although their report was dismissed by the Department for Education, President Terry Sanderson explains why their concerns were raised after they received dozens of complaints from parents.
Revd David Robertson of the Solas Centre For Public Christianity explains why he thinks the report is unsupported and scare-mongering.
