Schools Across England Removing All Calendar References To Jesus Christ By Switching To CE And BCE

The traditional terms BC, Before Christ, and AD, Anno Domini, are being
ditched for BCE – Before Common Era, and CE – Common Era. The new terms
still denote the periods before and after the birth of Christ. Local
authority committees drawing up religious education syllabuses say the
old terms may upset minorities or non-believers. But critics blasted the
move as a ‘capitulation to political correctness’.

Schools
across the country have stopped using the terms BC and AD in religious
education lessons for fear of offending non-Christians.

“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:16 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: For
hundreds of years, the world has used a calendar where each and every
year is a direct reference to Jesus of Nazareth. Now in the country from
whence the King James Bible first came into being, those references –
AD and BC – are being removed from all calendars in the school systems.
It is being replaced with CE for ‘common era’ and BCE ‘before the common
era’ so favored by atheists, agnostics and Jehovah’s Witnesses. As we
get closer to the Rapture of the Church, the world being left behind is preparing to meet Antichrist.

The traditional terms
BC, Before Christ, and AD, Anno Domini, are being ditched for BCE –
Before Common Era, and CE – Common Era. The new terms still denote the
periods before and after the birth of Christ.

Local authority
committees drawing up religious education syllabuses say the old terms
may upset minorities or non-believers. But critics blasted the move as a
‘capitulation to political correctness’.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey said the rulings by the religious education committees were a ‘great shame’.

Muslim and Jewish leaders were also mystified, saying they were not offended by the familiar terms.

Local authority committees – known as Standing Advisory Councils for Religious Education (SACREs) – from Brighton and Essex are among a growing number urging heads to ditch BC and AD.

The
syllabus for schools in East Sussex, for example, reads: ‘BCE and CE
are now used in order to show sensitivity to those who are not
Christians.’

Lord Carey said: ‘I have never met a
Muslim or Jewish leader who is offended by the Gregorian calendar’
while leading Imam Ibrahim Mogra said: ‘I don’t believe it causes
Muslims offence.’ A spokesman for the Board of Deputies of British Jews
said: ‘I don’t think anyone would mind if in mainstream schools they use
BC and AD.’

Chris McGovern, the chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said: removing BC and AD ‘is a capitulation to political correctness’.

National
Association of Standing Advisory Councils on Religious Education chair
Paul Smalley said: ‘Individual SACREs and schools can make a judgment
over which form of dating is appropriate.’ source
