Into the Wilderness

. Hi Fighter, Last Sunday was my last service in my current position at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Dulwich Hill, where I’ve been parish priest since 1990. Father Hugh Isaacs joins us this Sunday. Although he’s not officially on staff until March, next Sunday, to my reckoning, marks the beginning of the […]

World on Fire

Hi Fighter, The year has only just begun and yet 2020 has been a tough one for many of us already. The fires in this country finally seem to be lessening in their intensity, but who knows if this is the end of this catastrophe. The whole country seems to have been on fire and,

Weekly Missive – October 4th, 2013

Hi Fighter, I’m writing to you from the lovely town of Narooma on our state’s south coast. Our family is taking a few days off at Ange’s partents’ house and, as you can see from the pic below, the children are out frolicking in the sunshine and enjoying the great outdoors! I’m afraid that since

Weekly Missive – September 11th, 2013

[imaioVideo v=1] Speaking at the “Hands Off Syria” rally in Sydney (if you can’t view this video, click here)  Hi there Fighter, It’s been a dramatic week! While America prepares to unleash hell on Syria, Australia has elected a new government that promises to make life hell for asylum seekers! We live in dark times

Monday Missive – April 1st, 2013

HI Fighter, Father Dave here and again I’m a day late with my Monday Missive, but this week it’s deliberate! I figured that it would be a bit silly to broadcast my Easter sermon two weeks after Easter, and I didn’t think it right to urge Denning to work on the video on a public holiday

Monday Missive – December 10th, 2012

Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave back with you, though only very briefly today. I’m back in the land of Oz, and glad to be back, but feeling a little off-balance! A part of that is jet-lag, no doubt, but the other thing that has thrown me is the realisation that we’re only two weeks short

Monday Missive – December 3rd, 2012

Hi Fighter! You’ll have to forgive me for sending out my ‘Monday Missive’ a little late this week! I’m afraid I’m on the wrong side of the world, in a different time zone, and I’m currently encloistered in a monastery where hi-speed Internet access is not the priority for residents. Actually, I’m not sure if

Monday Missive – November 12th, 2012

Hi Fighter! You’ll have to forgive me if it’s a rather bare-knuckle missive this week – no pics, no videos, nothing fancy. I’m afraid it’s been that sort of week for me – a bare-knuckle bash!. There hasn’t been any literal violence. It’s been more of a spiritual stoush. Mind you, I did fear that

Monday Missive – September 17th, 2012

Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave with you again, back from my Monday evening run, tired but still on a bit of a natural high from the endorphins. Even so, I’m far from content as I write tonight, as I fear that our world has taken a turn for the worse since we last spoke. I’m
