  • Efficient energy

    The phrase 'think globally, act locally' has been a mantra of the environmental movement since the late 1960s, but its origin probably dates back to town planning initiatives in the early 1900s.  

  • Australian young writers striding ahead

    The 2018 young writer program with Press Service International in conjunction with Christian Today is well and truly striding ahead.

  • Heart breaking - putting a spoke in the wheel

    In recent years I have noted a number of Australia’s civilian honours and sadly, (history is replete with military honours) which are similarly ‘posthumous’ - or after the event of death. There has been a push for some years now to see one or more of our soldiers killed in Afghanistan to be awarded “posthumously”. 

  • The do-gooders are out in force – grand-dad's are at risk

    This was a story in the Sydney Morning Herald written by Eamonn Duff titled 'Police investigate frolicking child' and sub-titled 'A family is shattered after an innocent outing turned sour'.

  • One Day in Melbourne on 19 May – Craigieburn Salvation Army

    One Day in Melbourne for 2018 is on the 19 May at the Craigieburn Salvation Army – 75 Interlink Dr, Craigieburn, 20 minutes from Melbourne airport.

  • When the clergy 'mess-up'

    Some time ago a News.com article listed major stuff-ups from the political, corporate, business, sport and entertainment worlds. For those interested in witnessing such things, this site is a good starting point.

  • Secular media and sex issues

    Since 2008 when I initiated my daily column in Christian Today I have regularly written on issues associated with the secular media and the various issues of sex. These articles have ranged from both a theological review of the current crop of leading preachers who have spoken on sex, to the types of articles in glossy magazines, pornography and almost everything else between.

  • Commonwealth Games - ups and downs rap - but great Christian outreach

    Gold, Gold, Gold …..  has been the call time and again as Australian sportsmen and women have excelled. Likewise those who have won Silver medals and Bronze medals. It is no easy feat to finish first, second or third in a Commonwealth Games at any time or in any era.

  • On message – 'Back to Nature' (the bush)

    During Prime Minister Julia Gillard tenure, Tim Matheson the then nation’s ‘first bloke’ was the centre of attention in an article in the Sydney Morning Herald at that time written by Tony Wright, as Tim had purchased a bush block on the Goulburn River in north east Victoria, setting up his caravan for his own personal space.

  • Minister's spouses - huge changes

    The cinema has presented the Parson’s wife as the all conquering little woman of the Rectory, the calmer of troubled waters, a murderess, and the scarlet woman, but none of these descriptions truly represents the true-blue parson’s wife of the twenty first century.
