This book features a letter from a bishop condemning the Conscience Clause, a provision in the national school system that allows parents to exempt their children from religious instruction. The author argues that the clause undermines the religious ethos of Church of England schools, particularly the pervasive religious teaching that permeates all aspects of the curriculum, fostering moral and spiritual growth. The author contends that the law, while ensuring protection for dissenting parents, simultaneously compromises the religious education of the majority. Despite the bishop's assertion that the clause does not interfere with religious teaching, the author maintains the opposite, arguing that the legal right to exemption would necessitate a drastic reduction in religious content throughout the school day. This restriction would hinder teachers from engaging in discussions of religious topics or using religion as a lens to interpret other subjects. The author concludes that the Conscience Clause, by restricting religious education, ultimately undermines the holistic development and spiritual formation of students in Church of England schools.
