Sex is part of marriage

Here is my letter to the editor in the Sydney Morning Herald:

“So sex is about mutual pleasure, unselfishness, desire, intimacy, consent and even romance (”Porn everywhere, what’s a child to think?”, Herald, May 21-22). If only our sexperts started promoting marriage as the proper place for sex, then our children might have a true chance to experience the intimacy so undermined by pornography.

McNeills start at Sylvania Anglican

St John's Anglican Church, Sylvania

The McNeill family have now begun at St John’s Anglican Church, Sylvania. Whilst I continue my full time role at Anglican Youthworks, this ‘Shire’ church is the new home for me and my family on Sundays.

Paul Sampson, Rector of Sylvania, put me to good work straight away–two sermons back to back on the book of Acts.
