Last week, in reaction to that response, C4's viewers' editor Paula Carter met with Kevin Sutcliffe, the channel's deputy head of news and current affairs, to discuss the programme.

However, I suspect these schools aren't "government approved" n the sense that Anglican or Catholic schools are. I.e I can't actually believe they get public money, as they only accept their own believers and they don't teach standard subjects. Ted

I'd think to myself "Job done," and trot off to someone more difficult to corrupt. Of course the problem with Christian education is that it's not clear which form of Christian education we should take seriously. For example in a chemistry class would we say that the substance in the test tube is wine or blood? It's just occurred to me; with careful vomiting we could get a sample to reveal the Jesus Genome. Sooner or later cloning would allow anyone to have their own personal Messiah. And you thought there were no practical uses. I think if I were Satan that prayer would work on me.
