Hi EiLiYa,
"Agape is one of several Greek words translated into English as love. Many have thought that this word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love. Although the word does not have specific religious connotation, the word has been used by a variety of contemporary and ancient sources, including Biblical authors and Christian authors. It was expropriated by some Christian writers and used in a specifically Christian context, leading to a belief that agape is a Christian word.[who?] Thomas Jay Oord has defined agape as "an intentional response to promote well-being when responding to that which has generated ill-being."[citation needed] In his book, The Pilgrimage, author Paulo Coelho defines it as "the love that consumes," i.e., the highest and purest form of love, one that surpasses all other types of affection. Greek philosophers at the time of Plato and other ancient authors have used forms of the word to denote love of a spouse or family, or affection for a particular activity, in contrast to philia—an affection that could denote either brotherhood or generally non-sexual affection, and eros, an affection of a sexual nature." from Wikipedia
In summary, the word Agape does not belong to christians. It is just that they use it more often to interpret God's unconditional love. so i feel that the centre should not expect parents to know that it is linked to christianity. As for the bible proverbs stated, I view them as very general statements like " Teach your child where he should go...." which is correct want. They didn't state things like " Teach your child that he should head to the direction of the Lord..." I am perfectly fine with whatever the statements so long as it is not a direct display. Teachers do ask them to say the grace though they didn't force the kids but which child wants to be the odd one out? I watched them do it. They do put their hands together with fingers interlocking. Their grace is also pasted on one of the walls of the 1st classroom. I think the most important thing is the management insists that theirs is not a christian ccc but their actions speak otherwise. Even if it is a christian ccc, i dun mind but i feel that we parents have to be informed in the 1st place, either verbally or through their website, etc.
