Girl Guides: Has this woman broken a sacred promise?

From The Telegraph-

"We can’t ask the kids to lie,” says Gill Slocombe, the Chief Guide, trying to explain why her organisation is dropping God from the solemn vow that every girl makes.

“If they are not crystal clear and absolutely sure they can commit to the words of the Promise, then the words have got to be made right.”

So instead of vowing to “love my God” as they do now, the half a million British Brownies and Girl Guides will soon promise instead “to be true to myself and develop my beliefs”.

This has caused uproar in some quarters, with despair that yet another institution seems to be turning its back on the nation’s historic Christian faith. The latest attack comes from the Bishop of Bradford, the Rt Rev Nick Baines, who accuses the Guides of “evacuating the Promise of meaning and filling it with vacuous nonsense” – and even says the new wording “opens the door to little Hitlers”.

In a blog entry posted on Friday, the bishop says the new Promise “beggars belief”. “Does it really mean that any belief will do – à la Joseph’s 'any dream will do’ nonsense?”
