In other words does the person have to subscribe to the beliefs of the British Humanist Association as a necessary requirement for the job or can people of other faiths apply?<br /><br />Surely it would be illegal if they couldn't apply, never mind being contrary to BHA declared principles?Matt Wardmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326720801362744582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529016898634168069.post-44187330484312532082009-11-18T21:28:34.047+00:002009-11-18T21:28:34.047+00:00Good spot Mouse.

The agenda is clearly not reform of bad practice in some faith schools but the removal of faith schools from state funded education. I cannot understand why Ekklesia seems so committed to removing the voice of faith communities from the public space.Philip Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912352719196616923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529016898634168069.post-43240204863234147462009-11-18T20:59:22.158+00:002009-11-18T20:59:22.158+00:00Phil

Mouse is rather shocked, however, that the current campaign for funds for this post is piggy-backing off a billboard campaign, which is being funded by the left over cash from the atheist bus fundraising.<br /><br />In other words, money given to fund posters on buses is now being used to front a fundraising campaign for the BHA to employ someone to campaign against faith schools.The Church Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533337543955611592noreply@blogger.com
