Rediscovered among my ‘notes’ of 2002: from picturesque Stanley in North West Tasmania, a church organist’s prayer – Even before….. Even before I meet the need Awaiting me today His eyes the hidden story reads And He prepares my way And ‘ere I tread the path unknown Already He is there To take my hand [...]

Funeral Service of Professor Allan Carmichael OAM St Clement’s Anglican Church, Kingston Tasmania 2 February 2012 Speaking notes of Bishop John Harrower ALLAN CARMICHAEL: A TRUE FRIEND I have been asked by Beryl (Allan’s widow) to speak on Allan as a friend. It is an honour so to speak – but the greater honour is [...]

This study book, “Out of the Depths” by Helen Rienits, may not be at the top of the list for many small group leaders – but that would be a mistake. There are probably more people than we are aware of who suffer from various degrees of depression. In addition, others struggle with anxiety, stress, [...]

An outrageous tweet from former test cricketer Rodney Hogg has rightly brought condemnation from the Muslim community. I join them in condemning this despicable comment. I do not wish to write the words of Hogg’s blasphemy because it derides Allah in saying, ‘Allah is …’. See, with a blasphemy warning. here. I am grateful to see that Hogg has apologised [...]
