Nashville Part II: Becoming Tourists
BYBTS- Bring Your Bible to School-October 5th!
The idea of bibles being kept out of school is very real for me as when I was a high schooler we ran into issues bringing our bibles to school. A small group of us wanted to start a bible study club-we called it BYOB: Bring Your Own Bible. Unfortunately, the school refused to approve the club. While FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) is allowed as it is an after school activity, a bible club during school hours was not. One teacher heard about the issue, and said we could “unofficially” meet in her room. So we started our club and met in secrecy. It felt like we were back in another century meeting in secrecy. In reality, there are many countries where Christianity is still banned and Christians meet in secret and use secret codes to communicate and spread the Gospel.
Our idea to start the bible club came from the fact that several of us students brought our bibles to school to read during the required reading time during study hall. When I first saw a friend with a bible in school, I myself was shocked that it was okay to read a bible during school hours. As I brought my own bible, some students responded as I did, others responded rudely, and yet others did as I did and brought their own to read.
So on Thursday, October 5th-I encourage you to take your bible to school. Even if you aren’t reading your bible during that class-have it setting out on the corner of your desk. It doesn’t matter if you are in elementary school, middle school, high school, or college-bring your bible to class with you and see what kind of conversations or thoughts it may bring about to those around you.Here's a link to some do's and dont's to help you understand the process.
