This is a new thing in this community – church that isn’t church as most people know it.
On the brick-topped wood-store area beside the fire we place a candle and shape a cross in sea-tumbled rocks, simple symbols of the Christian faith that we hope to share in a simple way this morning.
A real Aussie treat of an article at Reflections by the River by Annette Sims. A Barnabas column – Stories of Encouragement in the June 2009 Tasmanian Anglican magazine
We’re saying thankyou Bishop John, for your all Blog writings.

‘Lo, here is felawschipe:
One fayth to holde,
One truth to speake,
One wrong to wreke,
One loving-cuppe to syppe,
And to dippe
In one dish faithfullich,
As lamkins of one folde.
Either for other to suffre alle thing.
One songe to sing
In swete accord and maken melodye.’
[quoted in one of Amy Carmichael’s books – author unknown]
What an encouragement, Don & Nan. Thank you for the gift of Amy Carmichael’s joy in Christ. What an inspiring Christian life! In Christ, John
