Harpers Faith Based Child Care

Thanks to those social conservatives on the right, the cat is out of the bag. Another Bushite program the Harpocrite has stolen and is planning to implement is faith based social services delivery.

In this case apparently that's the Conservative Government plan for Child Care delivery in Canada No wonder they are so vague about it. Faith based social service delivery through the backdoor. So says CanadianChristitianity.com

They have spoken about creating 125,000 new child care spaces, referring obliquely, at least, to doing so through tax credits and assistance to parent co-operatives. And HRDC minister Diane Finley keeps hinting that the Tories are looking for proposals that would reduce the need for a universal, state-run system.

And one key to their success could well be in motivating parent groups and parent-church co-operatives to come up with child care strategies that will work in the densely-populated sectors of the large cities.

Churches and religious agencies have been real catalysts for social change in the large cities, in recent years. Their effectiveness has often related to the ability of their leaders to understand both their neighborhoods and the families that make them up.

In formulating their child care policies, leaders at all levels need to have the right kinds of listening devices honed in on family and faith groups.

Not that the Bushite 'Faith Based Social Services' was one of the Convservatives Five Points during the election. Kept that one pretty close to their chest. But now the cat is outta the bag. Better a daycare in a church basement than a non profit secular daycare (cause that's shudder, horror, a government/state run one).

And in Canada there is no historic separation of Church and State. And let's not forget that.

In Canada, church and faith based social service delivery has been so successful. Just ask the kids from the Mount Cashel Orphanage in Newfoundland or the those who attended the Canadian State/Church Residential schools. Just two examples of the success of faith based service delivery. And it has been just as successful in the U.S.
