Teen Banned From Wearing Crucifix
Wednesday December 7, 06:47 AM
A row has broken out after a teenager was banned from wearing a crucifix at a school where Sikhs can carry ceremonial daggers.Sam Morris, 16, was reportedly sent home from Sinfin Community School, Derby, after she refused to remove a gold cross on a necklace.
She was told wearing a crucifix was not compulsory for Christians, so the necklace breached dress codes.
Other pupils are allowed to wear kirpan daggers and metal bracelets, as they are classed as religious symbols.
GCSE student Sam missed two days of study before her mother Debra Saunders, 37, allowed her to return to school without the necklace.
Christian and Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe insisted a crucifix was not costume jewellery.
She said: "To persecute a young girl like this for her religious beliefs, whatever they are, is unacceptable."
Sam, who had worn the necklace for the past three years, told Sky News the cross was not a "fashion accessory" and she felt "naked without it".
Sinfin's deputy head Howard Jones said: "Most of our pupils understand allowing Sikhs to wear a bracelet is a compulsory part of their religion.
"Christianity does not require followers to wear a specific symbols."
Derby City Council said the ban was lawful but questioned whether it was "desirable".

GOD BLESS YOU

historically speaking, the origin of the cross is of satanic origin, from what i understand....
NO WAY
I guess that means I am scarred for life then

Talking about marks on the body with spiritual overtones, I have been a bit mystified and alarmed for the past three years, since I suddenly realized I had a birthmark line aligning with body marks that divide my torso in the form of a cross.
The vertical birthmark line I always knew about, but the other aligned body marks (the horizontal line), I just discovered about three years ago. I have not been the self conscious type, so I never paid my body more than minimum attention. However, since I made this discovery, from time to time, I look to see if it was a mirage but the "cross" is still firmly in place.
I tend to wonder, was I born with this "cross" mark and never noticed it till recently? The mysteries of God are indeed deep and unending!
Love of Christ.

That is wierd...the cross thing...and not noticing it...
I suppose you could take it all kinds of directions. But basics tell us we take up our cross.

Its a mystery all right, but you know what? I have been afraid to ask God about it since the discovery.
Reason? I strongly suspect I may not be ready to handle the full revelation from God concerning the meaning of this mysterious body mark!! As such, I am leaving the mystery well alone; not that it will stop God from doing what He wants to do with me in His own time.
In the meantime, I am feeling a bit like Moses must have felt when he was arguing with God on the many reasons why God should not bother to send him!
Love of Christ.
