[The Christian Institute] 7 Feb 2009--A Christian foster carer has been struck off because she allowed a Muslim child in her care to convert to Christianity.
The girl, in her late teens, was interested in exploring Christianity before she was placed with the foster carer.
But when the girl decided she wanted to be baptised, council officials said her carer had failed in her duty to preserve the girl’s religion and should have used her influence to prevent the baptism from going ahead.
They said the girl should stay away from church for six months, and later struck the carer off the fostering register.
The carer, who has over ten years experience looking after more than 80 children, is now challenging the local authority’s decision.
