To steal by giving


Dr Greg Clarke, co-founder of the Centre for Public Christianity, has written an article for News Limited's online discussion board The Punch commending the translation of the Bible into Aboriginal languages.

Surely the last thing most Aborigines need is a white man telling them about a brown man who might be trying to save them.

White man has introduced many things to Aborigines - some good, many bad. Perhaps it is time that we considered learning something from their culture

If we must translate something why not the Harry Potter series or a Kate Grenville or Tim Winton novel and not the judgmental, instructional hell and damnation of the Bible.

Have they not suffered enough!
