the eagerly anticipated & spendid sequel “St Mary’s Centre for Spirituality” is not due out for a while, given it is to be a carefully researched and edited book taking a good couple of years to write, given all people mentioned in the sequel have been contacted and asked for their considered opinion. as the title implies, a new contract from Carne et al. will be drawn up (no complaints there, more work..). the sequel book contains a DVD from Rob Curtis piecing together the fascinating and positve journey this community is making… more thoughts?

Hello Peter,
According to the title of your book you have frightened already frightened old men. If that is so then your mission has already failed. Rabbi Jesus teaches that by loving our enemies their fear will be diminshed; whereas you have hardened it. Of course, it could be that the jewish rabbi, like John Lennon, died young before realising how foolish his teachings were.
I am still waiting for an answer from Terry to my theological question of his talk of 1 -2 January.

Fosco Antonio,
The answer to your theological question is that you need to be made of sterner stuff. Instead of consorting with sausage sizzle people, study the Book of Job. This should be taught in universities instead of the nonsense which passes for education these days. As for the book on sale above, contemporary prottos have no taboo on money making so you are taking shots from the wrong side of the fence. You have strayed from the path of righteousness, so either get back on it or let the poor man try to make a dollar as best he can, and be thankful it’s not a CD with an electric guitar solo.

Hello H. St. John,
The Protestant Reformation was a good idea. Pity it never happened. The Archbishop of Canterbury has spent 500 years doing royal weddings and we have not heard from the Lutherans since they spent a decade saluting Hitler.The fear crippled old men in the Vatican are now getting a reinforcement of women haters from Henry VIII’s church. You would think they already have enough of them.
Rabbi Jesus’ sermon on the mountain does not come with a business plan that’s why it has only ever been used for sausage sizzle homilies by the likes of Joan and Terry. But I agree, Peter should go after the money. Now that he is out there spruiking for a percent of the new age baby boomer spirituality market. I just wonder how long it will take for Peter’s cult to go the way of all the others: a struggle for money, power and who is the Alpha Man getting first pick of the women devotees.
Joan does not get it! The Rabbi Jesus story did not become the icon narrative of Western Civilisation because of spiritual one liners, which we are now being told by Peter, deliver gratification in-the-instant with capital m mystery. Jesus howling abandonment by God is what makes the story.
I’m not really waiting for Terry to answer my question: I do not think he can.

Fosco Antonio,
I’m going to take you apart, piece by piece.
First, the Vatican makes the best holy water, probably other things too.
And last, the quote “Why hast thou abandoned me” is thought to be an inclusion by the sub-editors.
Set aside a part of your bountiful Aussie superannuation for a pilgrimage to the garden of Gethsemane. Douse yourself in holy water and pray there for forgiveness for your heresies. As preparation I recommend a few months in the wilderness. Forget Hitler, enlightenment and other popular trends, you need to first desublimate your intense, radiating machismo which betrays itself with the form of an inverted egoism. Use your primal terror on this night of the Quapocolypse as the catalyst for your awakening. Set aside your remaining years as it could be a slow process.

wow.. this blog is wierd…. but ********FUN******** getting into arguments with bush cowboys quoting canon law and what not – wow is the average church goer so not qualified for THAT! (and boy who would want to be) he he.
no blog section is touted for the new website for the old st mary’s church.
we experience fun in other ways – cups of tea after 9am mass (for those of you SME’er’s still parking in the St Mary’s carpark, please, after you have finished at TLC mass consider coming back after mass for a cup of tea (that’s an interesting subtopic – why do you see so many catholic arrive late for mass – leave half way thru, or straight after communion – are they spending half a mass at st mary’s and the other half at TLC – Ted the big issue seller regularly comes to visit Maggie and the rest of us at the old church!)… other ways of having fun.. yes, choir picnics at music festivals, herb garden (going wild in the old Micah carpark with all the recent rain!).. ah.. many other ways of fun yes……
um. well lol.
blogging is fun.
my church website needs a blog.. that’s why i’m here
…. blogging.

Good to see some Christians are actually thinking about things. We can think and argue ourselves around in circles but God tell us that His word it truth. Let’s get back to it.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed it’s the only thing that ever has!”
Margaret Mead
“Someplace between apathy and anarchy is the stance of the thinking human being. He does embrace a cause, he does take a position, and can’t allow it to become business as usual. Humanity is our business.”

Precious Peter,
I was anhungered and you came to me in prison, I was alone and homeless and you took me in…I was filled with Faith and persecuted by those whose power was more aligned with concealing truth and error – But the merciful compassion within and central to your heart – shed it’s light upon my soul…
Never forget that God goes ahead to prepare the way in which you will go…even before you consider it yourself.
Humans have been given the great power of reason and this means questioning.
In my faith I have questioned many times – so did TS Eliot (see his Four Quartets) – if we were without reason then we would have problems….
Stay strong. There is a purpose in everything.
With love

For too long society has interpreted RELIGEON as Christianity and religious people as Christians. I am in my seventies and have seen what has been done “in the name of God” by all mannner of faiths and people of “importance”. All following and espousing “the Bible” as their one true book. I think Jesus would have a fit and feel more crucified than ever looking at what has been done throughout the world since He came to save us. Everyone has had a “piece” of Him!
It’s time we all had a good look at what our RELIGIONS of all persuasions have been doing “in the name of God”. Peter is a very brave human being and needs to be protected from those who would do to him what was done to Christ by the very people who were the leaaders of their society.

Helen I agree with your sentiments – so very well put. I just wish I didn’t live so very far away but am writing here to send Peter my support. WE need a few/many more like Peter to stand up and say enough is enough.
Blessings

PS Still on a search for a ‘home church’ but am so delighted I can get my drinks from people like Peter on the net. xx
