...Principal Dr. Intaj Ali stresses Malek Fahd's motto: Knowledge is Light & Work is Worship. He reads out the four items from the previous week's school newsletter: a student has won a state-wide competition for her Harmony Day poster, a local newspaper's front page features Malek Fahd's Remembrance Day ceremony, blood was donated and there's a bicycle safety message. "These are normal Aussie kids, doing normal things," says Dr. Ali, whose staff is 40% non-Muslim. "We don't have the ghetto mentality here. We want the students to experience the full gamut of life...

Its creator thinks of himself less as a musician and more as a worship leader. Unassuming, single, shortish, Tomlin grew up in a sporty, churchgoing family in Grand Saline, Texas, where he and his two brothers used to play music in the annual Salt Festival. These days he lives in Austin, Texas, but spends much of his life on the road, as a sort of itinerant music minister. "So many...

(Recently some churches introduced the U2-charist, a Communion service set to the music of U2.)
