British Schools Ditch “BC” and “AD”

Schools across England are swapping the terms BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini) with BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era). The excuse for making these changes are according to Mail on Sunday fears of offending Non-Christians.

But Muslim and Jewish leaders have assured that they were not offended by these terms.

Our Lady of Sorrows: What about Christians being offended?
I would say: Thank you for the great honor to be offended because of - or instead of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I pronounce the following decree:
Starting today, the official meaning of BCE will be BEFORE CHRIST'S ERA
and the official meaning of CE wil be CHRIST'S ERA
