First published in 2005, this timely volume challenges those who
see faith schools as contributing positively to the well-being of
society and responding to parent choice to think through the
implications of September 11 for our multi-ethnic and multi-faith
society without taking a position on the ultimate necessity of
faith schools. The authors conducted research in several
faith-based schools representative both of older religious
traditions in England and Wales, and of those which have been more
recently established. The focus was on state-funded faith-based
schools, but a range were visited to provide an overview of issues
facing all faith-based schools, as well as those specific to newly
funded institutions.

This is the enthralling new novel from a bestselling storyteller.
When beautiful debutante Cathryn Brocklehurst meets dashing
aristocrat Nicolas Abingdon, it is love at first sight, even though
he is some twenty years older than her. Cathryn's parents are
vehemently against the match, for Nicolas has been married before.
The besotted couple defy parental opposition and society's
disapproving whispers to wed, but their happiness is short-lived.
The body of a young child is found in woodland on the Abingdon
estate, stirring memories of the mysterious disappearance of a
laundry-woman's daughter. As police and press descend upon Buckland
Place, long-buried grudges and simmering family feuds come to the
surface, threatening all that Cathryn holds most dear.
