Reflecting the past
It's interesting to note the sorts of issues that have occupied the likes of me in the last few months.

Golly. Try being involved with a Uniting Church congregation (even in a lay or congregant role). There are youth suicides in the district (5 so far this calendar year), there are no (repeat no) youth (ie. under 30s) in the congregation, the average age of the congregation is getting frighteningly close to 70 - but we spend all (and I mean all) of our time and energy bashing each other up over the sexuality issue and the ordination of "practicing homosexuals".
Gah!
