In the BP story, “Land warns of ‘greatest danger’ ahead for religious expression,” dated 11/9/00, please replace the 16th paragraph with the following paragraphs:
Walker said he does not want teachers “to teach the Bible like it’s a Sunday school lesson” or “as just another book and to be hostile to it.” Instead, he said he wants the Bible to be taught “in its multifaceted nature.”
The BJC and others who support the teaching of the Bible in public schools are not trying to “supplant what is being done on Sundays in Sunday schools and from the pulpits, but to at least give all of our students a basic idea of biblical awareness that they might not otherwise get because they don’t go through the doors of the churches and synagogues and houses of worship in this country,” Walker said.
