| Klose, Rev. Samuel Gottlieb (1802-1889) |
Pastor Samuel Gottlieb Klose was in charge of the first school for Aboriginal children in South Australia, at Piltawodli on the banks of the Torrens River near Adelaide, from 1840 to 1845.* He demonstrated that Aboriginal people were capable of education, and his difficulties illustrate a clash of intentions between missionaries and governments. (*In formal situations in Australia, Lutheran pastors use the title 'Rev.' (Reverend), following Anglican usage. Within the church, Lutheran tradition is followed and they are called 'Pastor', meaning 'shepherd' (Pfarrer in German). 'Pastor' can be used as a title or to refer to the office). |
