Rev. Ronald Thwaites in The Gleaner, April 4, 2022, discusses the importance of church schools in Jamaica where one-third are more are owned or sponsored by 11 Christian denominations. He identifies some of the problems that have occurred as the government assumed more financial responsibility and the church reduced its influence over their schools. From his position as Minster of Education he calls for a "philosophy of education which transcends the material and emphasises the ethical and spiritual." What a shame if the Body of Christ doesn't respond. What a shame that such a wholistic philosophy has been lost by those who follow the Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer and Ruler of all things.
