    Father Dave’s Sermon on Matthew 21:33-46 & the East Timorese Martyrs. The nature of God, the price he’s willing to pay for His ’Vineyard’ and the wait for the justice that will eventually take place.

    Wednesday is the feast of ’the Saints and Martyrs of Asia’. It is a tragic irony that on the very day it is celebrated, more East Timorese martyrs will probably be added to their number! A Protestant Christian leader has been killed. The Communion of Churches in Indonesia has confirmed that the ...read more

I won’t mention the name of the church but the page that came up was entitled: "How does God spot a Christian?" I thought ...read more

It is with this thought in mind that we present this third ...read more
