Ron,

When I was at WTS (Philadelphia) and attending a OPC church (probably the best congregation I have ever had the privilege of being a part of), one of my children was given a SS coloring booklet with an alleged picture of Jesus in it. I brought this matter to the attention of the Elders along with the quote from the WLC #109. They immediately questioned the SS Teacher and reminded her of the doctrinal standards on which that church stood and asked her to stop using the material. She put up a bit of a fuss and chose to refuse their counsel. Consequently, she was removed from her teaching responsibilities. It was saddened that this woman chose the course she did, but rejoiced that the Elders were committed to upholding doctrinal purity and the practice of it.

In Joe's situation, the school, as he has already mentioned consists of mainly Baptist believers. As we have read on this Board, some otherwise very conservative RB's reject the historic interpretation and application of the Second Commandment. If this is typical of Baptists today, then I don't have much hope that Carel is going to succeed in arguing her case. But in any event, it is the Lord's doing and at least, an acceptable witness will be brought forth by her to the honor of God and reverence of the Lord Christ.

In His Grace,
