		<description><![CDATA[Had a forum (rather like a press conference) in church last Tuesday morning. All about knives and their misuse.  Community worker and social activist Les Twentyman ran the show. He had a good line up of speakers including Bob Falconer, Chief of Police in two states, Angry Anderson, rock and roller and father of grown [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m writing this blog before a scheduled interview with Richard Dawkins, well known writer about, what he calls, the greatest story ever told, i.e. evolution, which won’t go to air on Triple J for a couple off weeks.
It’s a short (15 mins) interview but long enough for Dawkins to identify me, if I get a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spirituality in the Pub, last Wednesday, Veneto Club, Bulleen, was a giant dose of déjà vu which means, I believe, “we’ve been there before”.
Met lots of catholics I’ve known as Parishioners over the past 50 years. One bloke was an altar server at the first Mass I presided over in mid 1960! There were 200 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Activism Canonised with Mary Mckillop?
Should we adopt this Charter for Compassion as our Lenten “pilates”?
I plundered this non-violently from the National Catholic Reporter:
“How can we mark Lent? Whilst it’s good to give up sweets (and eat healthy!), I hope we can all make similar efforts during these forty days to join local campaigns of Lenten [...]]]></description>

Pancake Tuesday, for anglo type catholics, “carnivale” for latin catholics. “Carnivale” means farewell [...]]]></description>

Enforced convalescence in remote area led to helping, by invitation, from local elders, educate local children. Built school. Built more schools.
Taliban have been targeting schools. Hundreds destroyed. None of this bloke’s schools has been touched.

		<description><![CDATA[Lots of things happening in parish and neighbourhood.
Most can’t be listed because those who mean us harm seem to take comfort from any misfortune that befalls us.
We’ve done the usual catholic things first – worship, prayers, pastoral care of one another, including playing host to a 300 strong regional catholic primary school.
We’ve forgone the income [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Australia Day is upon us. The name Australia is derived from the Latin, australis, meaning southern.
Almost one in four Australians were born overseas.
More than 120 languages (I presume this doesn’t include indigenous languages!) are spoken in Victoria.
Between 2001 and 2006, the top countries for increased migration to Australia were China, India, New Zealand, South Africa [...]]]></description>

Barney Zwartz, the Melbourne Age, wrote an excellent article on the challenge issued by Vicar Jones.

		<description><![CDATA[There are gifts and gifts. I lack the gift of getting movers and shakers together, on song, in the pursuit of a manifestly good cause.
Last week, a young man was killed at a park in the western part of Melbourne. He was under 30.
The media waded in, as is media style, for better or worse, [...]]]></description>
