Bible Question (short): Stae violation of worshhip, what to do? |
Question (full): Recently a school in my country (Botswana) suspended students from their studies for opting to go for a Sabbath worship, the day that the school authority had determined would be for remedial teaching and studies. The constitution of my country in letter guarantees freedom of worship, however the school autorities say education comes first, and that a non-theocratic democratic state should not comply to biblical injunctions and commandments. My question is, can such a view by state organs be left unchallenged even at a court of law, and how should a Sabbath keeping Christian respond to such state backed oppression and violation of fundamental freedoms? |
