No free pizza for you Rachel!

Still, when the morning announcements at the public school include an invitation to come to Jesus Pizza could that blur the bright line separating church and state?

Of course it will. A lawsuit will be soon filed by the local ACLU organization and the school will cave because it can not afford to defend itself.

Ahhh. A future NOW member speaks her mind. Rosie would be proud. Btw, isn't TC Williams the high school from "Remember the Titans"?

Our church has been doing Jesus Pizza for years. It’s been a great success. Feed the body, feed the spirit. :o)

Now there's a shock. /s

While passing through Macom, Ga. a couple of years ago, I stopped for the night and across the street from the motel was a pizza place that had a big sign that advertized Synday pizza buffet, it listed the price and under that price it listed a smaller price if you brought that Sunday’s church bulletin with you from any church.

I’ve wondered since then how long it took the ACLU to notice that.

The strip-mall church across the street from our high school does this. It’s an effective way to get kids into the building. As a method of marketing salvation, however, I’m not sure how effective it is.

I’m opposed to marketing salvation myself, but that’s just me being Catholic.

I’m Rachel Goldfarb, the student that was quoted in this article who you all seem to dislike so much. I just wanted to point out that the reporter who wrote this article left out much of the background that makes my comment make more sense, and quoted me out of context. I am an observant Jew, and refuse to go to Jesus Pizza out of principle. No one can deny that the purpose of this program is to bring children into a church in hopes of “bringing them to Christ”, and I therefore will not attend. I do not have friends bring me pizza- in fact, most of my friends, even those who are Christian, do not attend Jesus Pizza either.
My feeling is that too many of my classmates do not understand that Jesus Pizza is clearly an evangelical event, and that since it is an evangelical event, it should not be advertised in the school’s morning announcements. As a public high school, we are supposed to have separation of church and state, and the advertisement of Jesus Pizza at school seems to toe that line a little too closely for my taste.
