Thanks all.
Have now spoken to Mrs C, so feeling better about that side of things.
Relaxing, feeling reasonable, and reading latest No 1 Ladies Detective Agency, waiting for doc.

No sign of cardiologist yet, so looks like I'll be in overnight again, which is fine. Not feeling too bad, but not better either.
Biggest is dying of boredom at grandparents place, but cricket will rescue him tomorrow.
Thanks for praying

A good bright and clear day for the cricket Mr C. Hope you're up to it, but even if you're not, the grandparents will get pleasure from taking Biggest. Tell them to wear hats and use sunscreen though.

Indeed. Unfortunately inlaws are not cricket people, but Biggest has been taken to the game by team mate. Feeling better today, but staying in hospital, waiting to see cardiologist. Wishing I was at the cricket, as I think this may really be "his year".

Good afternoon everyone.
At Our Lady of Advent (Granville, Sydney) service this morning, we had a special commemoration of World Animal Day. While a wee bit late, we centred the service on Francis of Assisi. We blessed any pets present, sent sent owners home with a blessing for absent friends. We also commemorated those friends who are now adorning our gardens beds and making the spring flowers bloom even better!
All during he service we could hear the crows, magpies etc outside. We would have had an outdoors service but after last nights rain took the safer course.
At the end of the service I thanks all animals present for being so nice and friendly, not biting, scrathing or clawing each oher, and rejoiced in the fact that none of them had done any doo-doos on the carpet. Then I spoke to the pets present and said ....

Nasty wee shake - only mag 2.9, but I thought a truck had hit the back of the house. It's weird how they feel bigger when I haven't felt any for so long.

Last year I blessed, inter alia, a (wild) snake, injured, brought to me by one of the indigenous kids. I did my best to persuade her to take it to a vet - I would pay. I never paid so I doubt it ever happened.
This year it never got organized, thank goodness. I don't mind snakes, I just don't like services that to me feel gimmicky.

Not coming from a tradition that has such a service, we were just normal as ever.
It was my first Sunday back after a week long conference in Geelong, where we celebrated the 100 th anniversary of Frontier Sevices.... That part of the UCA that employs me and supports my parish. So, we talked about what that all meant, and what being in a remote and isolated region was like. We had a Eucharist and celebrated what it meant to be the Body.
We had morning tea, and moaned about the very, very cold weather.
I can home and lit the fire, and watched the rain.
As I moved here when autumn began, this is all I know. I love here very much... And believe one day, it will be proper spring.

They lost, but Biggest put together a nice little 12 no batting at 9, and bowled well but without luck, a couple of catches going down off his bowling. Happy boy tonight. Team a bit injury ridden, inc keper with a bad back.
Nice to be home

Glad you are home Mr Curly. I am too, having had a nasty headache all day. So I did not go out to either church service this evening, though I did go to the big house for the St.Francis service this morning. The only animals present, as far as I could see, were the spiders in the rafters.
Feels like there's some tar in my Anglican lungs at present but that just may be assessment time looming. Sigh.

I think you show good discernment there, Rowen.
I have had an extremely stressful week which I cannot really comment on online. I have also had two granddaughters for the week who unwittingly actually added to said stress.
I did almost nothing yesterday but relish the silence and went to bed early to compensate for the hour of sleep missed with start of daylight saving. I was exhausted and woke after 8:00 this morning. As I have to be out of here by 8:15 to catch bus, I had another very quiet day and feel somewhat better.

Just back from intellectually stimulating Sea of Faith conference in Auckland – comfortable and well-equipped venue in a girls' boarding school, inspirational speakers and challenging discussion – basically intelligent though we had a loose cannon in our group who opined that the world would be saved if everyone meditated, and had found astrology to be inspirational. The rest was great – theme 'Where do we find our Values?'
So I've just caught up on Mr Curly's adventures – I hope the worst is over for you, Mr C.
At the same time, the Presbyterian Church of AotearoaNZ at its biennial General Assembly has reaffirmed its objections to homosexuals in leadership positions (which a group continue to vigorously contest) and sent a submission to the government asserting the PCANZ's rejection of the proposed Gay Marriage legislation.

Bugger. The only way I cope with all that is being in a very loving, liberal and inclusive parish and ignoring the wider church - it's that or avoid church altogether.

Yes, I am looking forward to catching up with Rowen. I seem to have entered the dark zone... when confronted with the topic "What will make this place more missional in focus?" I was itching to write "cluster bombing". Time to take a few ecumenical deep breaths, methinks.

I presume that you and the person who set the topic are on the same page about what "missional" means.
Nothing like defining terms and answering a question only to find that your answer was not what the lecturer expected.

I became allergic to the term 'mission' some time ago. I prefer to use 'presence' in some way, as in 'Is a church to embark on a mission effort?' or 'Is it to enhance its presence (and God's presence) in the community?'
Huia, I think the PCANZ will shed a few members after Assembly – not me because I'm in the right kind of congregation. And one of our loved and respected elders is gay.

Hi all, have not looked at ship much over the last couple of weeks due to odd days of leave with Cryptogirl being on school holidays. Spent a day last week cleaning up our Sunday School room in preparation for a move, and had a kid-minding day on Friday as we have friends with a toddler who is currently in and out of hospital. Took kids to see "Hotel Transylvania" which was funny but I long for the day when I go to the cinema to see a non-animated non-kids film...
Late prayers to Huia, Loth and Mr C. Welcome to BasilPlum!
Am I allowed to say prayers and blessings on all animals, except for the magpie that dive-bombed me on Saturday??? ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Back in the days when I was happily fighting with Gordo and the two Craigs on these fora, I used to sneak off occasionally to the DioSydney online community - Ozo used to (bravely) hang out there, too. But now I can't find it ... this is all much more formal than I recall, and I can't find chat threaddy things (like these). Can anyone recall where it might be?

It was basically obliterated some years ago. There was another private one started but I haven't even heard of that for a couple of years. Nowadays the SydAng site allows comments on articles if full name is given. I think it was on what passed for the SydAng site as a part of that. Craig S has recently restarted blogging but nothing very interesting so far. Craig B was very ill for a while but is still studying and living in western Sydney.
I have a feeling it was the great financial crisis which downsized all their online stuff. Southern Cross is no longer on line. You know that crisis where the diocese lost millions when everyone else did. Except they lost it through some ill planned gambling on returns.

My memory is the SydAngs forum is really long gone, I think it went even before the financial crisis. It is a very controlled website now and nothing but the very orthodox party line is ever published there. I used to post there sometimes, although the bullying from one of the moderators who might also have been around here was awful. The guy, Luke who used to work for Anglican media and run the boards was a good guy. I think he set up something called Mighty Church or Mighty God ?? discussion forums but I don't think it ever really took off. Haven't looked at it in years but think last time I did it was pretty inactive. The St Mathias crowd set up an horrific blog site called the Sola Panel which allowed discussion, if it's still around it speaks for itself in all its misogynistic horror.

Rather the opposite been happening here in WA!
This motion was carried by the house of laity and clergy at the 140th Anglican Synod in Perth:
1. Recognises the diversity within the Diocese of Perth, both in our sexual identities and in our theologies of human sexuality;
2. Notes the support from many within the Anglican Church for committed same-sex couples being able to register their relationships as 'civil unions' in Australia;
3. Acknowledges that legal recognition of same-sex relationships may coexist with legal recognition of marriage between a man and a woman
It is now awaiting the Archbishop's approval. He has 30 days.
Personally I think he'll say no. But it's still a significant moment.
It was in the paper today.
Did you enjoy Synod BasilPlum ? ![[Biased]](wink.gif)
@ Latchkey. An interesting move. If it is accepted by the Arch I think we will be the first of our kind in OZ
