abstract noteWaterloo Region District School Board voted to distribute Bibles to Grade 5 students whose parents requested one. The interfaith organization recommended against this. The testimony of minority religions did not work, so Jews and Christians testified the second time. "Late last year, the matter came up for another vote. his time, Balmer, Lutheran pastor Rick Pryce, and Bob Chodos, a Jewish lay leader, were chosen to speak to the public school board, rather than minority religious and cultural groups likie Muslims, Hindus and Bahá'í [sic]; they told the trustees the opposition to the Bible distribution comes from all faith groups belonging to Interfaith Grand River."
