Still on my feet!

Hi Fighter, It’s been an intense time for me of late. I turned 54 a week ago. Two days later I made my return to professional boxing, scoring a TKO over Glen Aristides in the 3rd round. The timing of this was significant in a number of ways. For one thing, it meant that I […]

A Time to Fight!

Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave, back with you and ready to punch-on for another year! 🙂 The holidays are far behind us now and Christmas is but a fading memory. What I hope is fresher in your mind is the list of goals you’ve set for 2016. As you probably know, I am a great

Still Fighting!

Hi Fighter, It’s been a month since we last communicated and the world seems to have been turned upside-down since then! When I last wrote there were still fears that Russia was going to sell out Syria for the sake of gaining time before the inevitable showdown with NATO over the Ukraine. Instead Russia went

What’s really happening in Syria?

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

to Syria and back

Hi Fighter, I’ve been to Syria, I’ve come back, and at the moment I’m sick in bed. I guess I’ve been pushing myself a bit too hard, but I’m now on long-service leave and will hopefully get a bit of a break. People have been asking me how I would sum up our Syria experience

Getting ready for Syria

Hi Fighter, This is Father Dave with another far-too-infrequent update for you. I’m afraid the last three weekends have been a roller-coaster ride for me and I am somewhat exhausted: Week 1: we had our fundraiser dinner – raising more than $6,000 towards sending our boxing team to Syria. Week 2: we took another dozen

I need your help

Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave. It’s been too long since I’ve communicated with you. 🙁 It’s not that I’ve been having a holiday (I wish). On the contrary, I’ve been struggling with a workload that threatens to overwhelm me at times, and I’ve got two major projects on the boil at the moment, and I’m looking

Christians and Muslims united for peace!

G’day Fighter, I am writing to you today primarily to ask for your help in sharing my ‘STOP THE WAR’ video appeal with the rest of the world. I’ve also though had a couple of dramatic weeks since we last communicated and I must share some of the highlights with you too. I mentioned in

Boxing in the streets of Syria

OK Fighter, It’s been a long time in production but here it is – the video that I’ve been yearning to share with you since returning from our peace mission, entitled “Boxing in the Streets of Syria” As you can see from above, Fighting Father Denning also took some wonderful still shots of the action

Peace Pilgrimage to Syria – peace work in Iran

Hi Fighter, Once again it’s been too long since I’ve posted. 🙁 I’m back in Oz now, well ensconced with my family. Even so, a large part of my heart remains in Syria. So many memories and images continue to turn over in my mind. Not all of them are good but all are full of
