Maleizen convent Sint-Ignatius school under watchful eyes
One month before schools start we wonder what is going to happen to the very conservative Catholic school in Overijse.
Located in the Maleizen convent Sint-Ignatius was officially recognised by the government in November 2015. Because it had fewer than 83 students the shcool did not receive subsidies.
The school has been the cause of some concern in the region, however, because it bases its religion lessons on the Mechelse Catechism, which was published for the last time in 1954. Flanders’ Catholic education network and the archdiocese of Mechelen and Brussels – the most senior of Belgium’s Catholic hierarchy – have now spoken out against the school’s curriculum, saying that it is dangerously outdated.
The founders of Sint-Ignatius, on the other hand, have publicly denounced regular Catholic schools because they allow “atheists and Muslims to teach” and their teachers “encourage the use of contraception”.
Crevits had arranged a second visit by education inspectors to Sint-Ignatius, and also asked the education department’s Management Commission to determine whether the school’s criticism of the Catholic education network constitutes an “attack”. A government circular explicitly forbids school managements to attack other education providers.

Music and young people in Christadelphia
According to Andrew De Witt 
Do we need to run the kind of music workshops aimed at young musicians who would prefer to play or listen to music not normally found in the Christadelphian cultural milieu?
The use of music instruments may depend on how conservative or progressive an ecclesia might be.
"We need to protect our young people from the damage so easily done by a Christadelphian community which sometimes is more intent on preserving a mythical ‘golden age’ that is said to have existed ‘in the good old days’. Some may argue that there are some forms of western art music which are ‘special’ and ‘sacred’. Maybe not, maybe so. But in making such a rash statement they are dismissing much of the world’s vast musical output, and the heartfelt and honest thoughts and prayers of believers whose musical lexicon and soundscapes may not coincide with their own."

Handicapped youngsters and Helpful computers
P2P made it possible that preaching could reach handicapped people and that they got a tool with which they can grow and feel more free.
P2P got some desktops which could be put together to make 6 good working PC's.
They installed some maths games, English worksheets and Bible software on the computers for the children to work with and improve their education while playing games on the computer.
