One Or The Other

Expect the howls of protest to run loud and long as the Prime Minister announces a $90 million plan to introduce Christian chaplins into schools.

Discrimination?

Perhaps you would prefer your child to be counselled by a Muslim mufti.

Or have no spiritual guidance at all.

Ineffective use of resources?

Not if it gives you the grace and compassion to deal with this:

FORMER security guard Karen Brown and the grandparents of the robber she killed have spoken of the power of forgiveness which has enabled them to form a special bond.

In exclusive interviews with The Sunday Telegraph, both sides in the shooting described how they have grown closer after Ms Brown was acquitted of killing William Aquilina as he bashed and robbed her.

Frank and Elaine Rasmussen, who shared their home with Mr Aquilina for eight years, said they have forgiven Ms Brown and even sent a touching sympathy card after her murder trial last month...

...Their faith and local Anglican church has helped them through their grief, they said.
