Pastors for Texas Children has provided a unique and powerfully influential voice advocating for public education in recent years. Good friend of Anette, PTC's founder and executive director, the Rev. Charles Foster Johnson, discusses the roles churches and religious leaders can play in supporting public school children and public schools, both through their ministries and through advocacy. A much-needed counterpoint to some of the anti-public ed rhetoric, Charlie and PTC are growing this movement across Texas and a number of other states now. Anette is honored to serve on the board of Pastors for Texas Children. \n\nCharlie can often be found speaking his mind on Twitter. \n\nCharlie is also founder and co-pastor of Bread, a faith community in Fort Worth, Texas. Throughout his forty-year pastoral ministry he has served churches in Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas.
