Abstract
Some brief comments are first offered on the research methodologies employed in William Jeynes' paper. In the context of his identification of the advantages of church schools to students of low socioeconomic status, the contrast between the ideals of religious schooling and the realities of their context is then explored, with particular reference to the imperative of a preferential option for the poor and the concept of social capital. A broader argument in support of the ministry of such schools is rehearsed.
