I know of some successful chaplaincy programs here in Canberra in government schools that my own Church isn't a part of. You're happy to receive all the stuff that we Anglicans give you outside of schools, BTW, so I don't see where the problem lies. I actually don't agree at all with making religion a part of the curriculum, even in Christian schools. I had an argument over this with a youth leader once. I don't mind the idea of optional Christian classes, but I don't like the idea of it being a part of the curriculum.
Could you please provide details of the many incidents you allude to? I am keen to follow up on this and see if the principal is applying preference to your church or if some other form of cronyism is at play.
Cheers
Matt
