Thinking Out Loud …. Today would be a good day to visit the Eiffel Tower. June 22, 2015. There are few buildings in the world more instantly recognisable, more iconic, than. It doesn’t matter if it is summer or winter, day or night, twilight or sunset, it’s a beautiful place to visit. Seeing it on the horizon instantly reminds you that you are in Paris, with all the emotions and possibilities that city’s name conjures up. It is the most visited tourist attraction in the world. Oh, the views. But at 324 m...

Thinking Out Loud …. A God who speaks my language. May 15, 2016. I haven’t blogged in the last few months as I have been busy finishing up my thesis, but I’m hoping to get back into it soon. For now, here’s a post I wrote for Tabor’s blog “Manna” last week …. But every time a student raises this issue, I’m reminded about a wonderful and profound truth those gaps teach me about our God. How do we decide what to care about? April 29, 2015. Like many other Australians, I was horrified this morning to hear o...

Thinking Out Loud …. Some thoughts on racism, listening, and the gospel. August 2, 2015. Unless you’ve been living under a rock in Australia for the last week or so, you’ve been hearing about Adam Goodes and the issue of racism in sport/society. So much has already been said, I wasn’t sure if I had anything to add. But a few things have really challenged me and got me thinking about racism, listening to the voices of the “other” and how this all connects to the gospel. 8220;Estranged in the land of our a...

Thinking Out Loud …. There’s no such thing as history (or Today would be a good day to be in Hanoi). August 29, 2016. It’s time for a Monday morning travel post … where would I like to be spending the day today? What did I love about Hanoi? I had a wonderful few days in Hanoi. Day or night, there were always people around, smiling, laughing, enjoying life. And the food … I’m not sure there is such a thing as bad Vietnamese food. And in the beautiful artefacts in the history museum. Of course we are all g...

Thinking Out Loud …. The privilege of experiencing “un-privilege”. May 27, 2015. I had an experience when I was in an African country last November that I have wanted to write about ever since, but it is one that I have struggled both to fully understand and to articulate. Experiencing the world as a white person means I experience privilege. It means that I do not understand what it means to be disadvantaged because of the colour of my skin, and that often I am not even aware that there. Any advantage o...

Thinking Out Loud …. Tag Archives: indigenous Australians. Some thoughts on racism, listening, and the gospel. August 2, 2015. And so as well as appreciating the insights and responses of people like Charlie Pickering. Or this incisive outsider view from an ex-pat American. This week I have actively sought out the voices of indigenous Australians who are speaking about this issue. I want to hear what they have to say. I want to listen.
