Speech day

For many years politicians and the schools in Sweden has been against that speech days should be held in churches.
Strange I think and many parents all over Sweden want the speech days back in the churches, as we grown ups remember them to be.

OK says the Education Administration but if it is a speech day in a church, the pastor or the priest would not be allowed to bless the children or talk about God.

Some congregations now don't want to buy in to this and the pastors don't want to play marionettes, which I really understand.

I wrote an email to all the different political party's who are in charge here in Sweden and I got an answer back from two of them.

The answers were not as I wanted them to be and to be honest I don't get what they are writing.
I asked two specific questions

*Do you think it is OK to have a speech day in a church?
*Why can the schools set the agenda for the pastors in a church and force them what to say and what to do in their church. What do you think?


Two straight forward questions, no real answer.

In Matthew 5:37 Jesus says:All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

It is true politicians are afraid to be honest, they are afraid to be "political incorrect".

Totally opposite of Jesus....
