The fact that we still have SRE in public schools to teach children about the Christian faith is such a privilege. So, we must make the most of it by equipping teachers to be effective ministers of God’s word in this unique context.

Lionel Windsor, a lecturer at Moore College in Sydney, recently reflected on his journey of faith as a young person. He knows that his experience in SRE classes and at church as a young person have brought him to where he is today – an ordained minister, training others to teach the Bible.

Judy* became an SRE teacher when she discovered it was one of the only ways that her grandchildren were hearing about Jesus. Her daughter had stopped going to church, but still sent her children to SRE!

After becoming a Christian when she was eight through SRE, Kelly* grew up knowing she wanted to help other young people have the same opportunity.
