Child Evangelism Fellowship

Sunday, February 6, 2011
I posted about the Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) a few days ago when I learned that parents in a local school district had complained about CEF pamphlets coming home in a weekly homework/school information packet. Since then I have come across several articles about CEF and their aggressive tactics in maintaining their right to send out pamphlets about their clubs.

Some back ground info on CEF:
Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF), is a fundamentalist Christian organization, and they have been increasing their presence on public grade school campuses across America through their Good News Club

CEF has been around for 70 years and is in over 170 countries. CEF claims that through God they been given a number of unique ministries to prey on and abuse evangelize and disciple children.

They run the Good News Club which is apparently very popular following a Supreme Court victory allowing the club to be in public schools across America. The 5-Day Club®  which takes place during the summer months with with teenagers who receive training in the Christian Youth in Action® program.
CEF appears to be the most dangerous type of religious organization, they are fundamentalists and they are not afraid to use the courts.

CEF continues to sue districts all across the country that challenge them:
Watch out for CEF and their ministries because they are after the vulnerable and defenseless, our children.

Child abuse has many forms,indoctrinating your children in a faith that will retard the child's ability to rationalize the world around them is a form of abuse.

The US Supreme Court ruled in favor of the religious free speech of students. That means you cannot stop Christian students from evangelizing your children. Sorry, but the Christian founding fathers gave us the US Constitution and the First Amendment.

And you constitutionally place disclosure demands upon religious clubs that are different from those of other clubs. Again the US Constitution assures religious and other persons equality of treatment.

No they would not. She would be asked to leave the group . Trust me that's what happened to me when I was 14 ,and started asking questions at MYF (Methodist youth fellowship ) my parents were called ,and I was polity asked to no longer attend. This was the same year of the Jones Town incident . They said I was asking to many questions ,and was a disruptive influence . Fore asking why would people be led like sheep ?

It never ceases to amaze me that such fear is attempted to be whipped up over something as wholesome as teaching children to live according to the rules of a holy carpenter from Palestine. If ever proof were needed that Christ is unique...

The Pierce County Council in Washington State just approved $7,000 to the local branch of the CEF. The final vote on this is scheduled this coming Tuesday, Nov. 19th, so hopefully the public can get them to remove it from the budget.
