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 […]

Weekly Missive – August 28th, 2013

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 14th, 2013

Hi Fighter, I hope you’ve been travelling well since last we touched base. It’s been a period of highs and lows for me. In terms of what’s been happening in our little hamlet of Dulwich Hill, it’s been almost all highs. In terms of what I’ve seen going on in other parts of the world (such

Weekly Missive – August 1st, 2013

G’day Fighter, Let me begin today with a big thank you to everyone who responded to my job offer last week. Thank you for the emails. Thank you for the phone calls. Thank you for the prayers.

Weekly Missive – July 25th, 2013

G’day Fighter, You’ll have to forgive me if this week’s missive reads more like a ‘positions vacant‘ ad, but we need some help over here at Fighting Fathers Headquarters and I’ve decided to put out a world-wide appeal. Position(s) Vacant The Good Lord has somebody in mind for this position, I am sure. Maybe they’re here

Weekly Missive – July 11th, 2013

G’day Fighter, Father Dave here after a fantastic week where I got to meet two of my heroes!  Yes, there they are below: Dr Chandra Muzaffar and George Galloway! I met up with Chandra last Tuesday in his offices in Kuala Lumper. Denning and I were there as a part of Mother Agnes’ team –

Weekly Missive – July 2nd, 2013

G’day Fighter, Father Dave back with you – a little weary but strong in spirit.  I seem to have been spending all my time travelling and speaking since last we spoke. I spoke to a Lions Club gathering, hoping to raise more funds for our youth work. I spoke to at a gathing of the

Weekly Missive – June 21st, 2013

Hi Fighter, I’m beginning this missive from a small room in a monastery on the outskirts of Canberra. Yes, I’m in the nation’s capital today and tomorrow, accompanying Mother Agnes as she appeals to Australian political leaders not to fuel the fire in Syria. I don’t know how closely you’ve been following developments in Syria

Monday Missive – May 27th, 2013

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

Monday Missive – May 13th, 2013

Hi Fighter, I left Syria yesterday and, quite frankly, the days spent there were amongst the most intense and meaningful of my life! I sensed as I crossed the border into Lebanon that I had left some of my heart behind in Damascus! I’m afraid I was a right pain to those I sat next
