See you at the Barricades! Read More »
. Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave, after another prolonged period of silence. So many things have happened since I last communicated with you. Most obviously, I spent a week in Iran, and that was an intense and wonderful experience. I must confess that I wasn’t really looking forward to that trip at all. I’d been

Hi Fighter, At time of writing, I’m on a plane home after a week in Tehran. With the miracle of in-flight Internet, I thought I’d share something of the experience with you while I can, as I fear I’ll be overwhelmed with work once I hit the ground! I was flown to Iran primarily to appear in a

Hi Fighter, I apologise for the increasing gaps in communication. In truth, I simply have more to do than I can handle. There will be an appeal for help in the latter half of this missive. If you want to avoid hearing me grovel just quit after the sermon. 😉 This is the first chance

Hi Fighter, Are we on the eve of Armageddon? It’s Father Dave, and I confess that as I write to you today I’m feeling sick in my stomach. It’s not something that I ate or drank (though I have had a second glass of red tonight to steel my nerves). It’s Syria, and it’s what

Weekly Missive – August 28th, 2013 Read More »
Hi Fighter, You’ll have to forgive me for the gap between missives. The last one (May 13) was sent out while I was still in Iran, enjoying a short respite with my dear friend Sheikh Mansour Leghaei. It was a two-day stopover between Syria and Sydney. I wish it had been longer. Since I got
