In an increasingly diverse and secular country, the provision of Christian education in state-run primary schools is under threat.

Insight investigates the Government's proposal to allow more mining in National Parks and conservation land
The pin-up Pike River coal mine on conservation land on the West Coast is claimed to be the model for future mining.
To minimise the environmental impact on the undeveloped Paparoa Ranges a 2.3 kilometre access tunnel was built to reach the coal.
This is the kind of thing the Prime Minister, John Key, has in mind when he says modern mining techniques would minimise any impact on the conservation estate.
But is Pike River a one-off?
What would be the impact on high value conservation land if more mining was allowed?
Environmental issues reporter, Ian telfer investigates the Government's proposal.
He asks how much land might become available, what's underneath the land that could be mined and would it really threaten the $20 billion international tourism industry as environmentists claim?
