[Oe List ...] Merry Christmas from Australia...

[Isobel & Jim Bishop]

Hello dear colleagues of the Order Ecumenical Community,
Greetings to you all at this season-  we value being a part of the 
listserve, and every person who puts fingers to the computer key, with a 
story, an article,or a word to us. Thank you all for nurturing us once again 
this year. I think that JWM for one, would appreciate the direction the 
listserve has travelled, thus far.
I remember that Grace abounds, and I include hope in that sentence too. ( in 
my view our Government has got it wrong).
Yesterday at the time of the summer solstice down here, we had our first 
taste of the bushfire season-  Sydney was filled with a thick haze of smoke 
from large fires; some ten- one hundred and sixty kilometres away ( sorry, 
160k = 100 miles).
Journey on, Journey on.....
Grace and peace,
Isobel and Jim Bishop.
