COBCOA Closure
Ian Hargrave announced today that COBCOA will take the first steps in shutting down its operations. Although the current Brethren schools are in no jeopardy of closing down, their affiliation with the Church of the Brethren is in question. Once COBCOA realized that Brethren beliefs are not conducive to higher education, they decided that their mission would be difficult, if not impossible, to implement. Devout followers of the Christian-based religion founded 300 years ago in Germany believe their children should be protected from universities, television, radio and the internet. Girls are banned from wearing trousers, the theory of evolution is not taught and non-believers cannot attend some Brethren schools.
