AN ANGLICAN PRIEST believes there is something fundamentally wrong with the manner in which children are socialised today.

Speaking on Monday to a combined back-to-school service for students who attend the St Clement’s and St Swithun’s Anglican churches, Griffith said “people seem to be losing their way and are moving in the wrong direction. That is, away from God”.
