Law and Justice for Law Students (excerpt)

(By Professor Michael Adams, Dean of the School of Law, University of Western Sydney - www.uws.edu.au/law)

Many people believe that there are not many lawyers that are practising Christians and that somehow the two areas of life cannot co-exist. In fact, in my experience as a lawyer for 30 years and a Christian for over half that time - I come across many judges, barristers, solicitors, in-house counsel, government lawyers, not-for-profit lawyers and legal academics – who proclaim their faith and are involved directly with the law.

The Bible has at least 67 references to justice and I have always been touched by Proverbs 21:15 "when justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous". Law is not always about justice, as there are many factors at play.

POLICE CHAPLAINCY (excerpt)

By Rev. George Habib - Regional Chaplain of the NSW Police Force at Fairfield LAC

The duty of a police chaplain is to walk alongside police officers [men and women, sworn and unsworn] helping them to attain wellness within the workplace so that they become more productive and in a better standing to put into effect law and order; the role can be extended to assist the officers' families with the emotional and spiritual support.

One of the most gratifying facets of my job as a chaplain, is that every time I sit and chat with an individual, grace will prevail and I will come away refreshed, encouraged and fulfilled.

Prayers and Meditations

Adopting a Senator and a Member of Parliament (MP)

"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."
[1 Timothy 2:1-4]

For 2014 the Lord put in our hearts to start these initiatives: "Adopt a Senator" and "Adopt an MP". Choose one federal MP (House of Representatives) and One Senator in the Australian parliament to pray for each day. You can get a current list of federal politicians from the Australian Parliament House website www.aph.gov.au
