  • Real time parables

    Today, we might refer the idea of relief as “parables of life” that come across our news services, telling real and simple stories about how people have helped each other.

  • ‘Not’ -  being nosey

    Jane Austen was gifted in her creative writing of ‘being nosey’, particularly that of relationships where prospective marriage partners were involved.  Many of her books describe social interactions and their consequences, and the most popular have been made into movies.

  • Is a Minister's job safe?

    Is a Minister's job safe. Some time ago the Sydney Morning Herald ran a story on a wide variety of occupations that are under threat and a host that are relativity secure.

  • Lockdown for schools

    No, this is not about Covid 19 restrictions. These are reality facts, not some myth. Some time ago East Hills Boys High School and Sir Joseph Banks High School - both in south-west Sydney went into lockdown after a social media threat, then St Andrews Cathedral School the following day and earlier in the month the University of NSW.

    Australia is witnessing China’s economic power as we speak with their reduction of imports from Australia. How might this impact on their excess of men.

  • No-go areas for the clergy

    There are no-go areas for journalists when interviewing a celebrity and this raised my antenna as to what might be some of the no-go areas when interviewing ministers and missionaries and / or in mutual conversation.

  • Penalty Rates – what of Ministers

    This affects all church goers. There are quite a few of us, in the millions in Australia alone. In some places, Church building are being sold due to a lack of parishioners.

  • Summer of 3 mission respite facilities

    The Whitsundays Laguna Quays Respite coordinated by Well-Being Australia for missions is celebrating at the end of 2020 as one of ‘three facilities’.

  • Climate Change and Religion

    The arguments have been out there for years now  -  I am doubtful now whether I could even explain what Climate Change is  -  as my feeble attempt would have both sides of the fence down on me like a ton of bricks.
