Even though I live in Australia now (and was born here, have the citizenship, etc... :-D ) I grew up in France and I feel a bit more European than Aussie.. Particularly I'm a happy atheist who view separation of state and church as very important. Now, following some (unfortunate :sigh: ) growing problem with kids (violence, suicide, etc...) the (Australian) government is going to give some financial grant to those school which have chapelin (any faith) in them :sigh: Ho, why, employ religious men again?!? In shool! Where the brainwashing danger is even greater! I'm tempted to say nothing good never came out of religion. But let's be politically correct and let's just say what about consellor? diplomed psychologist? Hey that would even give some job to those who study psychology! Well, just expressing my affliction at seing years of progress and enlightenment so quickly and lightly dismissed... :sigh: -- moved by Ed at 8:45 Monday 30th October, 2006

I tell you I almost called up Johnny and complained myself. Despite the outrage I feel towards this decision i fell i am obligated to inform you that this post is better suited to the Soap Box. But still, I hate the fact that a Chaplin could be hired in place of a qualified councilor. :mad: *So angry it hurts*

Hmm... right, I will move it. Glad to see I'm not the only one to be ... aghast! [Edit] ( I don't know how to move it to the soap box... :sigh: )

Here in the US, councelor, yes...but chances are a diplomed psychologist would not want to work at a school...after all, most of those guys bill by the hour (like lawywers) and a stay on their couch doesn't come cheap... Roswell

In Aus most schools already have full time welfare and counseling staff.

To be eligible as a chaplain, they must be qualified counsellors anyway...

Psychologists are basically secular priests, so you're pretty much endorsing the wholsale marriage of your government with your particular religious view. The Taliban did the same thing.

Little Johnny has to go. His policies when he first came to power were designed to balance a budget and to hell with the cost to society, but now his policies seem to be some weird attempt to emulate George W. That's not a comment on GW: what I mean is that Australia is so very different to the States and it feels like Johnny has forgotten that. It makes me sad. I just wish the opposition weren't so lame as to be unable to win elections that could so easily be won by anyone with a policy and an ounce of charisma. The petty infighting of Labour and the Democrats is almost as bad. Australian polictics are on a sad, sorry state at it's right now that we need someone with a brain and a backbone to get things back on track

Amen :-D. I completely agree. I don't have anything against religion, but more often then not, religion is called upon as reason for hatred and violence. So sad :sigh:
No hurries, no worries.

Therapy is, and has always been, one of their major roles.

Therapy is, and has always been, one of their major roles.
Considering that their training is -- and always has been -- focused on faith, liturgy, and keeping the collection plate full, I'd say therapy is hardly a major role.

Then you'd be wrong, as always.
