St James Lutheran ChurchThe Fantastic Hope of Advent - Dec 17 - Third Sunday in AdventPsalm 126 begins with God's people rejoicing that he has restored their fortunes but, when in the middle of the Psalm, it abruptly turns to a plea that God would restore their fortunes in the future it becomes clear that the first three verses were not realized but fantasy. This Psalm lives in the Advent tension between current hope and the faith that the God who is writing the Story is going to someday make the fantasies of Advent a concrete reality.

Soil and Human HealthBefore and AfterOnce there was a beautiful bit of land called Yanget east of Geraldton, named for the local, water-loving bulrushes. Rod O'Bree and his family have spent the last 15 years learning how to rehydrate and restore fertility and abundance to this land and that of the Chapman River Catchment. At the heart of his story are before-and-after pictures that have emboldened and inspired many in WA to tackle erosion on their farms and stations. Yanget has a lot to teach us about how we live on this country.2023-06-1219 minSoil and Human HealthSystem A and System B go to a Farming Workshop
Have you ever been to a sporting event when the teams have
run onto the ground, but the game isn’t on?
Amanda took herself off to various Agricultural workshops and field days
in country WA in February and March. She mills around the packs, does a bit of
crumbing work, and wonders where the ball is - all the while attempting to work
out who’s playing for who and what a goal might look like. This is her attempt
to make sense of the state of play.

Dr Christine Jones worked her magic on Day 1 with an in-depth look at the microbiome of the soil. On Day 2 farmers and supporters met to nut out ways to get the best from their soils in the face of new understanding about the magic of soil biology and a whole-of-landscape systems approach to farming.2023-03-1216 min
Acton LineThe Intellectual Life“The feminine genius,” a term coined by Pope St. John Paul II, has become something of a buzzword in the Catholic world. But has the fullness of femininity been exhausted? In a new collection of seventeen essays entitled With All Her Mind: A Call to the Intellectual Life, written by Catholic women of diverse backgrounds and vocations, you will find a call to pursue what is too often excluded from our picture of femininity: the intellectual life. Following Mary, the “Seat of Wisdom,” who “treasured” the words of the shepherds and “pondered them in her heart,” With All Her Mind shows how t...2023-02-2247 minSoil and Human HealthThe Mysterious Death of the Spanish DancersA new consciousness of the world we (Western) humans live in is emerging - and I am determined that nudibranchs will be front and centre of my attention. By showing interspecies sensitivity in my efforts to engage with these creatures I am atoning for past insensitivity and exhibiting what Merlin Sheldrake calls 'simple good manners'. I'm for that. Let's dive into the more-than-human world and have a taste of what our tribal ancestors knew - that we owe kinship to all that lives.2023-01-1814 min
