The church and remarkable women

  • A special day - Anzac

    My son who lived in England for seven years, explained that in the UK, our equivalent of Anzac Day (April 25th – the day the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps – ANZAC – landed at Gallipoli), is Remembrance Day, also called Armistice Day.

  • How vaccinations help keep us healthy

    A couple of years ago, I wrote two articles about the effectiveness of modern vaccines. This is a revision of the second (more scientific) article, with the inclusion of some recent research. Being Easter, I thought this an important topic – death to life.

  • A question that requires an answer – Easter reflection

    Easter brings a focus to many issues that surround us and this too is one of them. Recently I was reading an article that originated with the American Tinker, therefore American focused, but as I read it though, in my view, it applies to all of the West including Australia.
