A joy to share in worship and preach at Collin’s Street Baptist Church this morning. I am reflecting on the witness of Dietrich #Bonhoeffer whose 80th anniversary of death falls this year. #witness #courage #antifascism

Wonderful autumn mist clearing on our morning walk with Tessa the Deanery dachshund. She listened exceptionally well and walked herself back to the car off leash. Good girl. #dackel #dachshund #wurundjericountry #birrarung #yarrabendpark #dogs

Alleluia, Christ is risen. In our early morning vigil at St Paul’s Cathedral Melbourne eight adults were baptised by full
Immersion and they and four more confirmed. New life, new beginnings, in Christ. Alleluia. #Easter #resurrection #life

Today I anointed our 12 candidates for baptism and confirmation on Easter morning as part of their catechesis. We prayed for the gift of God’s Holy and Lifegiving Spirit in their lives and for their journeys of discipleship. #baptism #cathedral #disciplesofjesus

Now that we have five services each Sunday we’ve broken the day up into the morning and afternoon shift. I’m on at 4pm and 6pm today so went for a ride round the city this morning. #naarm #autumn #birrarung #yarra #melbourne #cycling

The Deanery #dachshund at prayer at our young adults’ service Gather. At the end of the service Canon Peter invited everyone to find out more about faith to those in dog collars. Tessa has a collar and for her the good news of love is conveyed in pats, walks and treats.
