To Whom It May Concern They’ve harmed no-one, nor committed any actual crimes.

Denominations [December 1998]
Denominations still play a key role in congregational life, research shows. Denominations will exist for the foreseeable future, even though they may be more decentralized and take less familiar forms, scholars said at a conference of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion. Many Americans no longer have a deep loyalty to denominations, but […]
‘The Man Who Invented Generation X’
Douglas Coupland’s seminal book, Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, was first published in 1991. The first part of that book’s title – ‘Generation X’ – became the buzz-word of the ’90s.

“Advance Australia Fair” (The National Anthem of Australia) was composed by Peter Dodds McCormick sometime around the turn of this century. Several versions with different combinations of the verses are found in different references. Some Australian governments seemed to disapprove of the sentiment of some of these verses, and passively discouraged their remembrance. Consequently, several […]
