I saw this headline in a recent article published in Teacher Magazine (subscription required). It told about a co-valedictorian who was asked by school officials not to include scripture in his commencement address. He complied, but the class president had not been issued similar instructions.

We’re all aware of the dangers of Christian mission work in Muslim countries. How about in “Christian” nations? A post by Tommy LeFan on Monday discussed the current climate of religious tolerance.
