ABSTRACT

The author comments on the non-involvement of a clergyman to the project of three researchers at the Oxford University in Oxfordshire, England. The author states that they found it odd that a clergyman was not involved with the project, which consisted of a philosopher, a psychologist and a sociologist, who seek to establish an effective plan for teaching of moral values in schools. The author adds that there would be no doubt that the clergyman would spoil the research by talking about God.
