Mission schools have the right to remain 100% Christian – Christian Apologetic Alliance

The Christian Apologetic Alliance has rejected calls for Christian mission schools to alter their religious identity to accommodate the religious practices of Muslim students, insisting that such institutions have a right to preserve their founding Christian ethos, traditions and worship.

The Alliance, however, maintains that protecting religious freedom for Muslim students should not come at the expense of the Christian identity of mission schools.

Its position comes amid renewed debate over the treatment of Muslim students in mission schools, following concerns raised by the Ghana Muslim Students Association (GMSA) about the compulsory participation of Muslim students in Christian religious activities and difficulties some students allegedly face in observing Islamic practices.
