God 'not welcome' at school advent services

The discussion about advent and church services arises every year in Sweden and in response the agency has developed legal guidelines to assist school principals. "The law stipulates that Swedish schools are non-confessional," Skolverket's Anna Ekström and Claes-Göran Aggebo underlined in an article in the Dagens Nyheter daily on Sunday. "That school is non-confessional means that there can't be any religious elements such as prayer, blessings or declarations of faith in education. Students should not have to be subjected to religious influence in school," they write.
