Commission to apply their own individual perspectives on how the New Zealand Church needs to deal with homophobia and misogyny in the Church. <br /><br />My Prayers will be will them as they do their sacred task.Father Ron Smithhttp://kiwianglo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-53608774884777717322012-06-12T10:09:13.861+12:002012-06-12T10:09:13.861+12:00I would love to have been an All Black, Ron, but, ...I would love to have been an All Black, Ron, but, alas, my abilities at rugby rank well below my abilities at just about anything else. I fail to see the incompatibility between being an All Black and a minister (e.g. my former school chaplain, the late Ian Botting, was both).<br /><br />As for preferring a new cathedral too a new stadium: let's have both. Even better, let's have some new homes for the homeless in Christchurch.Peter Carrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535218286799156659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-10756533653804136462012-06-12T09:20:29.807+12:002012-06-12T09:20:29.807+12:00Peter, with your obsession with Rugby Football, my...Peter, with your obsession with Rugby Football, my guess is that you would rather have been an All black than a minister of the Church. Tell me, do you prefer the building of a new Cathedral in Christchurch - to the building of a new Football stadium, (the alternative Temple)?Father Ron Smithhttp://kiwianglo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
