The Power of a Lyric
The words of a song can stay with you for years. A simple line can have the most profound effect, not just on our emotions, but on our very psyche. Over the coming weeks and months I would like to share with you some lines of songs that have stayed with me and shaped me […]

C.S. Lewis, Wartime and Britain
Britain has not always been a relative basket case. It was indeed a great nation not all that long ago. During the Second World War it produced gallantry, bravery and heroism.

Western Immigration and Global Jihad
There is always a moral asymmetry between the free West and its enemies. The West is meant to play by the rules, and it usually does.

Nonviolence
You’re right Rowland, I’m not in jail. And I probably won’t be, at least this time. In Australia they don’t like jailing people for nonviolent offences. Which means we have that much more freedom to act for peace and justice! For those who didn’t hear, I was part of a group called the Bonhoeffer 4 […]
Comment on homosexuality and the Bible
