Sorry for the late reply - just back from holidays. Since Potter very
clearly implied that it would be a good thing if theistic Sunday Schools
could stem the tide of humanistic teaching, then it is very much an
issue whether these theistic Sunday Schools, and Christian education
specifically, can demonstrate a superior capability over humanistic
teaching.
DEREK,
Potter was a signatory of the first humanist manifesto. What made you
make the opposite assumption? I am up to my eyeballs in metabolism now so
I cant talk long.

Education is the most powerful ally of Humanism, and every American public
school is a school of Humanism. What can the theistic Sunday Schools,
meeting for an hour once a week,and teaching only a fraction of the
children do to stem the tide of a five-day program of Humanistic teaching?
