The Anglican Bishop of Newcastle, Peter Stuart, has today issued a Pastoral Letter that seeks to chart a course forward for the diocese on the vexed question of marriage. In his letter, issued to leaders across the diocese, he draws attention to the current tensions in the Anglican Church of Australia over the debate, noting […]
What the Hell, Australia?
Dear Australia, I love you but you really do need to grow up. So Izzy said something you didn’t like. People do that. When I was young and got upset by somebody saying something mean it wasn’t long before I heard the mantra “sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt […]
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

They recognised that those they wanted to appeal to simply weren’t engaged in the issue – the man and woman on the street had […]
The Blasphemous “Freedom of Choice” of a “Christian” Abortionist
edit: Dr Portmann has commented on this post (see below) to clarify that she not only refers women for abortions but performs them. The post has been adjusted accordingly. The last few days have seen the airing here in Australia of “Christians Like Us“, a reality TV show that put 10 people who claim to […]

On Your Knees, Son – Liam’s Confession

Do I Look Fat in This? Why Theological Liberals Will Never Answer the Question
It’s a well-worn meme. The woman stands in front of the mirror trying on the sixth dress of the evening and turns to her husband with an important question: Do I look fat in this? The man, fulfilling every sit-com stereotype we could imagine, is wise beyond his years and answers with the skill that […]
