Both comments on behalf of Middle who is currently on a school band tour in Vienna.
On the America's Cup, it's interesting that "choking" is talked about much more than "comebacks."
Big week here at publishing central. Two new ebooks out each with a 10,000 word long short story (one about drugs in sport, one about "an" election) and paperback of the new circket book in process.

Fortunately I've been in the loop about this from the time I was interviewed, so while it's sad I'm not disappointed. He's picking up a difficult challenge. I have no idea who the line up of candidates to succeed him will include. Not me though - I've reached the zenith ofmy career (and am very happy with it)!
The main media assesment of the Americas Cup that I've seen has been a comparison of the squillions of funding available to the two teams over the past three weeks.

Front page post-America's Cup item this morning:
Notorious turncoat Sir (!) Russell Coutts is taking about retuning to NZ, and (according to a columnist) building a super-mansion on the north of Auckland City. Not to mention being available to team NZ for the next cup challenge, funded in part by Kim Dotcom.
Hatchets are being rapidly buried.
Having totally lost interest in the Millionaires' Toys before the end of this year's battle, I suppose I'd be cheering the team on once again if it does come to pass.

I think indigenous ministries will emphasise cerebral biblical teaching, while women's ministries will be tolerated in some forms but not strongly affirmed. Even Sydney may find an ordination of women loophole as no men are available in many indigenous Christian communities as a result of substance abuse ![[Tear]](graemlins/tear.gif)

I live in prayerful hope that moving out of the privileged confines of affluent areas of Sydney will open the eyes, minds and hearts of Sydney Anglicans.

I saw the report, Evangeline - don't know about his comedian skills but he made a lot of good sense in regards to same sex union/marriage - hope his motion at the upcoming Perth Synod makes it to the floor, then gets carried with a whopping big majority!

Not at all sure our friend would appreciate being called a "comedienne"! He probably prefers "comedian"

A brave piratical foray on the part of our shippie. Let's hope he doesn't get keel-hauled by the powers that be.
Though if he does, I suspect that it will provide plenty of material for his next stand-up show, so I guess it's all good.

Vote passed again in house of laity and clergy. More here from ABC.
I was disappointed to see the comments section was closed......why do they do that?
Our fellow shippie spoke very well.
I was there....but I still don't understand the dealio with the Arch. Legal issues? Not wanting to go it alone issues? I should probably read his charge....I think it was in there.

Heard that through the grapevine. But I can't really see our Arch doing the politically correct thing for the far east diocese if he felt strongly enough about it.....can you?
More interesting developments happened today so I started a thread in dead horses if anyone is interested.

Prayers please!!
The Grandad's now had nine weeks in three hospitals – Waikato repatriated him to Wellington, where they tried rehabilitation at Kenepuru but eventually after lots of tests, xrays, and scans they decided he'd never be right unless they did another operation.
Surgery is this afternoon, and he is really scared. He asked if the Shippies would pray for him and I told him I was surer they would – as well as all the folk in our local church and at Whitianga/ Matarangi.

Oz is the less. As of today we are short a Zappa, kuruman and kuruzapplets. But NZ is the greater for it.
FD and I never did manage the mega-drive to Darwin and Google maps tells us we can't drive to NZ because of a discontinous road network.
Methinks we'll be scouring websites for cheap flights to NZ before long. Someone needs to go check on them. And all those nearby wineries.
