Faith in Politics (Kevin Rudd)
Faith in Politics By Kevin Rudd Above the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey are arrayed ten great statues of the martyrs of the Church. Not Peter, Stephen, James or the familiar names of the saints sacrificed during the great Roman persecution before Constantine’s conversion. No: these are martyrs of the twentieth century, when the […]

I suffer from Marfan Syndrome, a genetic disorder which causes aortic aneurysm. Growing up with a […]
