On The Road 42

Earlier this year I took on the job of editing the journal of the Anabaptist Association of Australia and New Zealand, On The Road. This month my first issue came out!
You can download it here. It contains some a paper on Ephesians 4, an article about smacking and family values, a reflection on Gandhi and [...]

Christian Centre For Social Action website

Do you know about the Christian Centre for Social Action in East Vic Park? It’s a fascinating place, an ex-post office converted to a drop in centre for the needy and a battle station for advocacy and justice. One of the great things they are doing at the moment is sending shipping containers full of [...]

‘Sponsored by Elusive Brethren and Right Wing American Fundamentalist Groups’

Increasingly I just can’t tell whether fundamentalists are joking or not. Or whether their site has been hacked. At http://christiannews.co.nz/, the subheading is ‘Sponsored by the Elusive [sic] Brethren and Right Wing American Fundamentalists’ and they have a barcode to the right, the mark of the beast for many fundamentalists. So I assumed they were [...]

Anabaptist blog: radref; and some things I was going to blog about

An excellent blog I’ve started following is ‘radref’ from Phil Wood in the UK. It’s a similar blog to this one, but probably more what I wish this one was – ie Anabaptist! One of the focuses of the blog is the challenge of being Anbaptist in a country with almost no Anabaptist churches and [...]

Top ten reasons why men shouldn’t be ordained

Few arguments are as engaging as humour; perhaps you’ve already seen Maggi Dawn’s top ten reasons why men shouldn’t be ordained. Of course, as an anabaptist, I don’t think anyone should be ordained.

Nothing new under the sun blog

Stumbled upon an excellent theology blog called ‘Nothing new under the sun’ by Byron Smith, a minister in Sydney. Look out in particular for an excellent series of posts about Christian hope, challenging the populist misconceptions of ‘going to heaven when you die’.
What makes Bryon’s theological ponderings all the more profound is his present struggle [...]

AMUC Camp

Perth people might be interested in going to the AMUC camp (AMong the Urban Community) this month. They have a blog on WordPress – http://amuc.wordpress.com . (My brother is one of the organisers.) The idea is that for a week you live in community with other Christians (sleeping on the floor of a church) and experience [...]

The baptist vision blog / meetings for a house church

James McClendon’s work is so important, and I feel ignorant for only having read some of it years ago summarily. I think his idea of a ‘baptist vision’ is good for Anabaptists, as it puts us in touch with our brothers and sisters in similar traditions like the Baptists (capital B!) and the Churches of Christ.
Recently, [...]

Ben Witherington has a blog

I’ve always liked the New Testament scholar, Ben Witherington, and now I’ve discovered he’s got a blog, with a wide range of topics, not just theology.
