The Military Christian Fellowship of Australia published their Crossfire magazine, highlighting a picture from Afghanistan on the cover:

WO2 Andrew Hetherington Personnel attend a Bible reading at the Tarin Kot cenotaph during the stations of the cross Easter service at Multi National Base – Tarin Kot on March 27.

The support that militaries provide for their deployed troops religious liberty is admirable — even in countries where the religion of their troops may not necessarily be welcome.

As an aside, it’s a good thing Michael Weinstein doesn’t have influence over the Australian Defence Force.  He and Chris Rodda oppose the public celebration of Easter in the military in combat zones.

The Australian unit published more of their pictures of that event here.
