====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== June 3, 2004 Southern Baptist Homeschool Resolution Dear HSLDA members and friends: The Southern Baptist Church is in the midst of a debate about the suitability of public schools for Christian children. The Southern Baptist Convention, which will be held this year in Indianapolis June 15-16th, votes on resolutions which will be policy for the churches belonging to the Convention. A pro-homeschool resolution has been submitted by T.C. Pinckney and Bruce N. Shortt to the Southern Baptist Convention Resolutions Committee. This committee will decide whether the resolution will be approved for a floor vote at the Indianapolis Convention. The resolution instructs church members to either homeschool or send their children to a Christian school. Christian Education Resolution: http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?ID=1611 HSLDA strongly supports this resolution. REQUESTED ACTION For Southern Baptist Church members only. If you agree with the Pinckney - Shortt resolution please contact members of the Resolutions Committee. These members need to hear from Southern Baptists who support the resolution in order for it to clear their committee and be presented at the Convention. Homeschooling is growing rapidly and successfully producing mature Christian citizens with a Biblical worldview. It's time for the wider Christian community to make the choice for homeschooling. Please send this message "Allow an up or down vote on the Christian Education Resolution." Your letter could also include how your family has benefited from homeschooling.
