I’m away at a retreat this week, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to share a bit of my story. This was written for my Supervised Theological Field Education paper in 2006 and was called “My Operational Theology and Model for Theological Reflection”.
I’m happy to answer any questions if you’re happy […]

Back in this post, a woman named Anne asked the following:
I have a couple of questions for you about Righteousness from God through Faith:
There is a simple command from Jesus Christ to everyone in Matthew 6 that Paul expounded on, primarily in Romans and Galatians, especially his summary in Ro 1:16-21: “But seek ye first His […]

I have this dilemma…
The Bible that I bought when I started Uni 17 years ago is falling to bits. The spine has come off and the cover is in tatters. The pages are still fine, though fairly well worn, with a few ‘dog ears’ scattered through out. I like it because of its size and, […]

Found this quote in an article from today’s Age newspaper. 
Somebody has to say it. The sooner the price of petrol is lifted to $2 a litre, the greater the chance that Australia will enjoy a relatively smooth, as distinct from a violent, transition to a world in which both mobility and lifestyles will be seriously […]

I’ve mentioned my internet cartooning friend Dean a few times now. A great man and great cartoonist, with an edgy style that brings the message of Jesus right into the midst of a culture that would otherwise never hear it. Earlier this year he released a comic book called “Open Your Heart When They Hate […]

I’m not exactly sure of the details of who believes what, but this article seems to suggest that at the conservative end, homosexuality is seen as outside God’s will and thus […]

Following on from this post.
Another article in the paper about the Government’s proposal to introduce chaplains  into shools across Australia. I put the word ‘chaplain’ in italics becasue that’s what we’re supposed to be talking about…
The article in question, by Professor Judith Bessant, seems motivated by another agenda and disregards the welfare of students entirely. […]

A bit of a stink is rising about the new Superman movie and how some see it as yet another movie based on the story of Jesus.
There’s been hundreds of movies that have a ‘christ’ figure in them. Movies where the main character dies but then is brought to life to save humanity, or variations […]

A few months ago, I did a series on some of the questions God asks in the Bible. We spent some time looking at the following three questions, where they were asked in the Bible and how God still asks them today…
Where are you? God to Adam and Eve
Where is your brother? God to Cain
What […]

The rainbow flag is a symbol of gay pride. I have one on my office window.
Not because I am gay, but because I think young people that struggle with issues of sexuality get a pretty rough time. They can be isolated from their family, their school and their workplace and end up feeling very alone […]
