Back in Nashville where my wifi doesn’t connect for some reason – so I cant upload all I have written on the last few days travelling through historic sites relating to the beginning of Churches of Christ and the Restoration Movement. Today was the Leaders’ Forum of World Convention and the hordes are descending forContinue reading “Nashville update”

This is where it began
Sitting in this rough hewn log cabin church at Cane Ridge near Paris, Kentucky – the focus of the revivals of the Second Great Awakening on America’s western frontier in the early 1800s – is a special experience for those steeped in the principles and witness of the Restoration Movement. Even by today’s standards, thisContinue reading “This is where it began”

Signing in from Nashville
G’day readers, here we are. Lots of stuff already written up for this pilgrim’s journal here, but there’s a problem connecting my laptop to the hotel’s wifi system, so until I find a hotspot that works, I’m using the public internet in the lobby. I’ll load the report on the journey here when I can.Continue reading “Signing in from Nashville”
Off to Nashville, Tennessee
Why would a home territory boy like me suddenly take off to cowboy country in the USA? A love for country music? Nup! Hiding from the law? No way! Three quarter life crisis? Don’t think so. I’m sure it’s something to do with the hosting of the World Convention of Churches of Christ. It’s oneContinue reading “Off to Nashville, Tennessee”
Janet’s blogging!
It took a trip to Africa to get my sister blogging. Janet recently returned from a few weeks voluntary work at Kitgum, Uganda. She intended to blog while there – but things were pretty full on. She’s starting to put her reflections down now and the blog should build over the next little while. YouContinue reading “Janet’s blogging!”
Book Review – The Shack
Author: William P Young, Windblown Media, 2007 After more than thirty years of trying to come to grips with an adequate articulation of an intellectual understanding of the Trinity, this book has finally convinced me that it can’t be done! No wonder the biblical writers avoided anything like the “T” word with its propensity forContinue reading “Book Review – The Shack”
The Black Balloon – Movie Review
Here is a story of autism within the chaotic unpredictabilty of family life. Charlie is an island within the swirling maelstrom of an extraverted family unit consisting of soldier Dad, heavily pregnant Mum, and younger brother Thomas. Fifteen year old Thomas is the protagonist and we largely see the delights and challenges of living withContinue reading “The Black Balloon – Movie Review”
Sorry is the first step
Today has been momentous. An obstacle has been removed from the road ahead. Now we can move on to some hard yakka.
Sorry Day Eve
Tomorrow is a historic day for Australia. At long last, after much political soul searching and hand wringing, Federal Parliament, through its new Prime Minister, will say the word “sorry” to this land’s first peoples. In this context “sorry” is a power word. It has strong potential for unblocking the process for healing and self-realisation,Continue reading “Sorry Day Eve”
