Chapter 13 : All Hallows Eve, Sydney Bushfires, Women’s Ordination & Christian Spiritual Traditions ...

What a week! Anglican women's ordination passed by the Ballarat Anglican Synod, fires, smoke-filled trains and exhausted homeless people fleeing the Sydney bushfires, noisy Halloween parties around my Western Sydney local area. With much prayer, thankfully I just finished my Spiritual Traditions assignment for St Marks Theological College (it  felt like a major spiritual battle). At 12.00 pm I'll be praying the Midday Office with a friend, for bushfire-affected Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Southern Highlands residents. Lunch to follow ...

P.S. The photo is from St Johns Anglican Cathedral, Fremantle, one of my favourite places, where I read my poetry at "Poetry and the Sacred" in 2008 with the Rev Elizabeth Smith and others.

God bless you, every one! (Tiny Tim, in Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol)
