Many of you would recall earlier posts on the High Court challenge to the federal funding of school chaplains. The High Court heart the case in August but is yet to deliver its decision.
However, 75,000 Australians signed the petition that was sent to the federal government at the time, supporting chaplaincy and the continued funding programme. In response, last month, the Gillard government confrimed its commitment to chaplains, and our children, by announcing continued support for the current chaplains and additional funding for 1000 more schools across the country.
This is great news. It is worth us also considering how we can support our chaplains. You might like to log on to the Schools Ministry Group website http://www.smg.asn.au/ to read about schools ministry in South Australia and the ways that you can support and pray for those that help our kids.
