Love your neighbour as yourself. So I took this snap after the last #LambethConference2022 service and hope our neighbours across the Ditch will forgive me for posting it. They’d just been singing Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi. Such a profound and moving anthem :)

Great to see the mainstream media paying attention to today’s Global Climate Action by Australian faith communities - here in Hackett, Anglican and Uniting Churches are proud to work together on this vital issue #Faiths4Climate #COP26 #ProtectCreation https://t.co/rUuO2dUbTW

@leydenmichael Dear Michael, wonderful to see your pic and fantastic news – but where is your yellow chasuble?!?

[Tim Watson @revtimwatson]

@leydenmichael Prayers for mercy from the other side of the world, mate!

[Tim Watson @revtimwatson]

@tanyariches Any suggestions for listening (for a newcomer to Australia)? Is this music generally bilingual or is it original language only?

The Desert Fathers voluntarily chose isolation to be w/ Jesus, setting up a structure, a Rule of Life around 4 categories-Prayer, Rest, Relationships, Work-to remain in Jesus
We r in an involuntary isolation & also need a structure for our days and weeks to remain in Jesus.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us stay united. I invite all Christians to direct their voices together toward Heaven, reciting the Our Father tomorrow, 25 March, at noon. #PrayTogether #PrayForTheWorld

@kittycatcollar “The adjective busy set as a modifier to pastor should sound to our ears like adulterous to characterize a wife, or embezzling to describe a banker. It is an outrageous scandal, a blasphemous affront.“ Eugene Peterson, The Contemplative Pastor. Read it all!

Happy to announce that I've just been appointed Rector of the Parish of Holy Cross, Hackett, in Canberra, Australia. We'll move before Christmas, & I start the new role in January 2019. It's an exciting move, and a step of faith – we're looking forward to the adventure!
