A majority of Protestant pastors and half of Catholic priests believe school is a negative influence on a child's spiritual development, according to a new report by the Barna Group, the Christian Post website re;ports today (March 25, 2019).
Barna partnered with a religious think tank named Cardus to interview 650 Protestant and Catholic church leaders last year about spiritual development among youth.
Respondents were asked to rank certain entities regarding whether they had a positive or negative influence on a child's spiritual development. The categories were "parents/family," "church," "school," "peers/friends," "Christian community," and "culture/society."
According to their findings, 65 percent of Protestant respondents and 50 percent of Catholic respondents viewed school as a negative influence on a child's spiritual development.
