– I don’t think any of this. It is not good that the church cannot send a greeting to the schools. We must safeguard the Christian cultural heritage.
This is how the municipal council representative of the Hå list, Terje Mjåtveit, reacts to the decision to stop the transfer of the church’s special Christmas greeting to Nærbø schools in Rogaland, reports NRK.
The director put his foot down
It was the headmaster of the school in Hå Municipality, Rune Roaldsen, who finally put his foot down and decided to have the church video greeting canceled.
He expresses his understanding that the church offers this this year, but still believes that it is well above what the school can afford to show students before Christmas. The school principal believes that this violates the guidelines for school services and should therefore be considered preaching.
“Blurs the distinction between school and church”
In an open letter to schools, Roaldsen writes this:
“Christmas is full of traditions. Going to a Christmas service is one of them. I think the church has good intentions in recording this” Christmas greeting “, But I think there is a significant difference between schools that visit the church to attend a service and let the service enter and influence the school.. It obscures the distinction between school and church. Therefore, I want them not to show the Christmas greeting, “the letter says.
The Human-Ethical Association supports the cancellation
Parson Leif Inge Norland Brekke is in the movie, which the students now refuse to see.
– We must have respect for the fact that the school principal has a different vision of this Christmas greeting than we do, Brekke tells NRK.
The Jæren Human Ethics Association believes that it is right for the school principal to stop the film.
The school services guide of the Directorate of Children, Youth and Family (Bufdir) establishes, among other things, the following:
“The school will provide students with a historical and cultural vision and anchor, and will help each student to safeguard and develop their identity in an inclusive and diverse community. Attending worship services or other traditional holiday celebrations can be part of this. “
