  • An old preacher reviewing a new preacher

    Having listened to sermons for most of my life I was fascinated when this item popped up, internationally acclaimed theologian and preacher Reverend Dr Rowland Croucher now 75, reviewing Michael P. Jensen\'s a young preacher\'s recent book, "Pieces of Eternity", Acorn Press, 2013.

  • Apollo, Dionysius, Jesus, Suffering, You

    The world is full of stories that deal with pain and suffering, and in many ways they all offer their various solutions to it. As a classics student, I have come to learn to read the various stories of different traditions and different cultures in light of the way in which they respond to suffering in unique and different ways.

  • Are people with disabilities contributing members of society?

    Are people with disabilities contributing members of society? Let's be realistic, depending on their disability, they might need life-long care and someone to provide for all of their needs. Depending on their intellectual disability, they might not be scientists, doctors, or teachers. Depending on their disability, they might not own businesses that will provide employment for the many people out of jobs.

  • Thanks to two friends

    So life has been a little crazy the last few weeks, and sometimes when life is a little crazy you don\'t have the time to give a proper thankyou.

  • I choose to believe

    As a dance teacher I spend much of my time oohing and ahhing over small children\'s recent success. Their first time skipping, their first dance class as 2 year olds, their first time wearing a fairy dress, or better yet, their first time doing \'princess walks\' all around a studio.

  • Beliefs Christians should abandon: a dialogue

    It's 12:30pm as I walk through the village to meet a friend of mine at the local café, but it still looks like morning. These sodden Auckland days make all times seem the same. The person I am meeting for late breakfast is Johan, he's a very talented postgrad university student, and an agnostic. He sits there waiting sipping coffee, because I am slightly late as usual. The usual wooden interior of the café with the fake vines and the smiling faces greet me at the door.

    Another day in the world of Sports Racism

  • You talk to your young people (the way you used to talk to me)

    I spent this last Easter weekend at a Baptist Eastercamp, with 5000 young people, leaders and volunteers. It was a bit of a returning for me. About 6 years ago, you would have found me behind the scenes and on stage, running the programme and writing all sorts of creative experiences for young people.

  • Easter every Sunday

    My, how time flies. Another Easter has come and gone, taking with it the anticipation of a long weekend and a decent chunk of your enamel. The allure of public holidays and sharing chocolate with friends of family is now a thing of the past and life returns to normal. Some of us may have even added an extra celebration to our Easter schedules between the bookend celebrations of time off both work and nutrition: celebrating the true meaning of Easter.

  • Love, lions & virtual love

    Flying & Facebook The last hundred years has graced us with some ground-breaking inventions that have changed the way we see the world and ourselves. Few can imagine life without Facebook, email or the Internet. A world without aviation would be a world far removed from our current reality. Being unable to text, call or Snapchat any of our friends seems almost inhumane.

  • Mums, we love you

    Since my oldest sister gave birth to her first daughter two and a half years ago, I have had the privilege of watching her step into the role of mother and parent. People say that no one can prepare you enough for having children, and you will never get to a stage where you know everything.
