    // Writer

    DIANE TAYLOR was born in England and emigrated to New Zealand with her husband in 1970 She worked as a Social Worker and Probation Officer. She undertook university study and gained a Bachelor of Theology and two post-graduate diplomas (one in Professional Ethics and one in Theology) before completing a M. Phil. In History. The thesis for her master’s degree provided the basis for her first book which described the life and posthumous influence of the first Catholic bishop of New Zealand, Bishop Pompallier. Subsequently she published two further books – the first concerned her parish priest, Fr. Denzil Meuli, titled “An Extraordinary Priest” and the second on the problems with harmful education, entitled “What Are You Teaching My Child And BY Whose Mandate?”. She is currently completing a book on Mother Aubert, whose process for canonization is under way. A chapter of this book has been published in an international magazine “Gregorius Magnus”.

      What Are You Teaching My Child And By Whose Mandate?

      WHAT ARE YOU TEACHING MY CHILD AND BY WHOSE MANDATE? Warnings to Parents and Others About Harmful Education. This book is about harmful education worldwide and is the product of many years research. Information has been gained from many sources including from the author’s professional experience as a social worker. The author has written about the topic previously as well as giving seminars with respect to the effects of harmful education. As education issues have recently been reported by the media concerning moral issues, this book may be of interest to some parents. A Christian College has recently been advised by the Ministry of Education to erase from its statement of belief that marriage is between a man and a woman. Part of the school’s response is below. We think our Christian beliefs actually support and enhance the health and wellbeing of our students. As our most recent Education Review Office report notes, our special Christian character “contributes to a strong sense of wellbeing and belonging for students”.
