[Closed] PAIS Christian movement running a club in local school

Kip · 2017-10-07T15:44:30Z

OK, so we get am email telling us that PAIS is doing a Friday lunchtime MAD club. They've done an assembly already with the kids to tell them about Making-a-Difference club where they'll get to learn about community values and do stuff to help the community. My initial reaction is, who are these people? so I do some research. I find this:(I'm on my phone and don't know how to make a proper link sorry). The email attachment says they are a Christian group linked to a local Baptist Church. I find out that amongst other things they believe in Creationism and, I quote, "missionaries making missionaries". (I've already made the smutty joke about that so you don't need to). Further investigation found, well, very little else actually, at least nothing negative and no forums posts anywhere like this one. My friend was up in arms and really started digging and has found they have links to strongly evangelical churches with American money. We have raised concerns with the school etc etc, but basically I'd like to know if anyone here knows anything about them? Are they doing stuff in your kid's school, do you kniw anything about them. Will they shut this post down as it may get negative? Anything appreciated, cheers. (sits back and waits for the Simpsons pitchforks and flaming torches mob meme).

What JY said.

"Yeah but Islam" is whataboutery and the notion that we wouldn't discuss / criticise it is simple fiction. We can, we have in the past and will no doubt do so again in the future.

I don't doubt there would be cries of "Islamophobia" but some people do so like to infer meanings in order to be offended and have an argument. Actual real Islamophobia (as opposed to reaching for the pitchforks whenever someone mentions brown people) wouldn't be tolerated.

"Islamophobia"? WTF does that mean?!

A fear of Islam? Which from comments earlier on this thread, since redacted, could have I guess been taken as Christianophobia.

Glad to see the lack of tolerance extends to all major doctrines. Wouldn't want one to be left out would we?
