Is there a christian family in Australia that would take me in as an exchange student?
I am seriously considering coming to Australia to study abroad. But I am a devout christian and my parents won't let me stay with a family who is not. I would sure apprieciate it if christian family would take me in.

Good on your parents ! What I would suggest is to google Churches in Australia of your particular denomination ...decide on a state ...then email them & see if they would be prepared to canvas their congregation to see if anyone would like to help you... We have had exchange students over the years & still take in student interns from the Southern Baptist Churches for a few weeks each year...it's a great way to learn about different cultures !

LOL.... the biggest p*ssheads I know are actually devout, churchgoing Catholics! Anyhoo, you don't specify your religion. People in Australia aren't really "devout" the way people in America are. If it's a concern about getting to church on Sunday, then I'd contact the Australian branch of the church you belong to and go from there. If it's more a concern about respect for your beliefs and the general morals of the host family then it's not so much of a problem. I don't know the ins and outs of host families, but I think they're usually families with kids at private schools, and the private schools are generally attached to a religion. It doesn't necessarily reflect the families true beliefs though.
