Happy Feast Day!
Tonight we celebrated an Evening Divine Liturgy for the The Feast of the Ascension of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Thanks be to God for the wonderful priest of St Nicholas’ Bankstown, Fr Mitko, who graciously allows us to worship in his church, [...]

[Axios is a Greek word meaning, "worthy", which is exclaimed by the congregation at the ordination.]
Congratulations and many, many years!, to deacon Chris who was ordained to the diaconate at the Evening Divine Liturgy for the Sunday of the Blind Man [...]
With a Shipmate over from Perth, and the fact we will have a Divine Liturgy tonight (including the diaconate ordination of our much-loved sub-deacon: please remember him in your prayers), I and shipmate went to St Francis of Assisi, which is the church of two other shipmates — who are in the choir there.
As always: [...]
A wonderful sermon by Fr Jim.

As other Aussie Wibloggers have mentioned, we’ve had a bit of a cold snap in New South Wales. (And I believe it’s travelled up to affect our usually sun-drenched Queensland cousins).
Pleasant enough one day; bitterly cold [...]
A metre (or so) was my undoing on the way home tonight.
On the timetable, my railway station has SP3, which means Short Platform — Use Back Three Cars. The trains on my line are either four or two car sets. Today I decided to jump into car number one of a four-car train, [...]
The final song is playing on our broadcast here: but due to a certain Sydney newspaper splashing the results on the front page of its website, I know the result. Regardless, I’ve tuned in as Eurovision is an experience to be savoured.
Congratulations to Lordi from Finland: winners of Eurovision 2006! I’d post a [...]
