Committee Graeme Craig, made it clear that the Lord’s Prayer has not been abolished from schools. The prayer may still be used, but one religion cannot be given primacy over another. The committee is preparing a document in which the available options are being outlined for the schools and expect to report on it at this month’s meeting.
