AREN'T YOUR CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN WORTH THE EFFORT AND THE SACRIFICE?

HUMAN RELATIONS EDUCATION (HRE): With this now in all Australian schools, all children are at risk, and the only way to protect them is to home-educate. The only way to do that legally and without harrassment by social workers and police is to have our Education Act changed. That will be humanly impossible, because those with vested interests have far too much undemocratic influence and power. However, we have what they do NOT have - the way to victory through Christ.

So with faith and confidence in Him, let us stir up our local MPs and Minister for Education through constant contact by letter, phone or in person, or by letterboxing their areas until they see the need to pass through Parliament our suggested Amendment Bill to give equal status to home-education by responsible home-schooling parents. Compulsory use of well-recognized Standardized Tests such as California Achievement Tests (CAT) will monitor the progress of each child.

MY TRIP TO GYMPIE, BUNDABERG, GIN GIN, AND MARYBOROUGH: God willing, from 19th to 23rd June I will be visiting these towns, spreading the great news about Dr.Coulson's changed attitude to psychotherapy, etc, and his proposed visit here.

I will be distributing copies of my submissions to the Minister for Education in support of my suggested Education Act Amendment Bill to enable unrestricted home teaching, and especially my submission promoting the visit of Dr.Coulson and seeking rejection of Dr.William Glasser and the use of his 3rd Force Psychology. Likewise I will be circulating Dr.Coulson's speeches, press releases, and the tapes of an hour and a half interview he had on an American Radio 'Talk-Back' programme earlier this year. All these are available to any who will order them.

I will also be giving out material I have collected on Human Relations Education. Please send me copies of whatever literature you may have collected on HRE.

MY TRIP TO GAYNDAH, BAUHINIA, MONTO AND GLADSTONE: A speaking tour, including an all-day seminar at Bauhinia, is being arranged for this circuit in early July Thursday night, 6/7/89, at Gayndah (contact Mr.A.Pinwill, 079-61.1249); all day Saturday, 8/7/89, at Bauhinia (contact 079-96.4135 or 96.4149); Sunday night, 9/7/89, at Monto (Mrs.A.Kelly, 071-66.1643); and Monday night, 10/7/89, at Gladstone, (Mr.E.Weinholz, 079-78.1737).

I will be explaining Values Clarification and the Kohlberg Theory, both of which are used in Human Relationships Education, together with non-directive psychotherapy. Dr.Coulson's pronouncements will also be highlighted, especially his warning that "good children are capable of being dragged down by psychotherapy".  The same submissions, speeches, tapes, etc., will be on sale at all the meetings.

I look forward to seeing as many of our members and supporters as are able to come to any of the above meetings. The outcome I am striving for is to have more and more Christians serving our Lord in the education of their own children, and so reduce the havoc being wrought in Christian families, especially in their originally good parent/child relationships.

FEES & SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR 1989: Due to so many rises in postage and photocopy costs, we have had to put up our fees after quite a number of years of no rises.

Yours in His exciting Service,

R. Joyner     Director.
