    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.

    Welcome once again to Transfiguration Sunday.

Actually I miss quite a lot of what He is saying. OK, OK. I admit it. At times I so don't get it. My teacher in primary school slammed ...read more
