Neil Foster - Education in Australia (Religious Liberty Part 4b)
Christians Engaging Culture is currently in a module on religious liberty. This week we continue looking at religious liberty and education. In this podcast we hear from Neil Foster. Neil Foster is uniquely placed to speak to the topic of religious liberty. He has trained in law and is an Associate Professor in the law school at the University of Newcastle. He has also studied at Moore Theological College in Sydney. He writes a blog called Law and Religion in Australia. This podcast is a lecture that Associate Professor Foster gave at the Anglican Education Commission’s Governor’s Symposium in late 2018. In it he discusses the impact of the Ruddock Report on religious schools. The Ruddock report had not yet been released, but enough had been leaked for Associate Professor Foster to comment helpfully, and his commentary is still relevant in light of the recently-released draft religious freedom bill. We are thankful to the Anglican Education Commission for giving us permission to republish this article. You can find out more about them at www.edcomm.org.au.
