... back to the priest that things started to calm down. So what does all this mean? Have I been completely wrong about collaborative ministry all these years? Should the laity be told what to do by the clergy for their own good? I don't like these questions and I really hate the apparent answers to them. What the heck do you do when the theory turns out to be bollocks? Your comments please.

New art release – ‘The Dog’s Bollocks’ This one was inspired by a recent trip back home to London. I was digging around my photos from the trip, and ideas started to flow. ‘The Dog’s Bollocks‘ is the result. Quite a lot of personal meaning in some of the text and images used in this one.

The link to the report is here: Even though over 11,000 submissions were in support of the marriage definition changing to include same-sex couples, the committee has rejected the proposal. The reasons cited are primarily religious-based as you will see if you read the report. So, we continue to be treated as ...

I ended it. It's over. The switch in my brain said you can't continue going this way. To keep giving everything and still not getting anywhere closer, even though realistically, he was doing what's real. Arm's length. B/c in 3 months he's gone. So really what is this business? Except to just be casual and this is case #2 where I've deluded myself into thinking I can change ...

Mark is making a name for himself selling fancy gingham from Sri Lanka, Chris is about to embark on the next chapter of whatever the hell he’s planning, and I’ve been doing the rounds in London Town (or sitting in and watching US ...

'Wellington could be more like Venice by 2100 Emily Watt If you want to go to the library, you'll get your feet wet, Wellington police will need boats to get to work, and parts of Customhouse Quay might get a bit soggy.

Why don't they write all razor adverts the same way? A woman bounces out of bed, leaving Her Man tousled in the sheets behind her. She kicks a football across the room and leaps athletically into the chrome and brown-tone bathroom, where she covers herself in shaving foam and grabs her Gillette Fusion and flips it expertly around to an inspiring and go-getting rock soundtrack.
