Fore! Golfing with Crazy Print Pants
Sometimes the Gospel meets us on the golf course as readily as it does in the pew. With a smile, a colourful pair of golf pants, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humour, this reflection discovers that joy, humility, and good companionship may be just as important as keeping the ball on the fairway. Faith, like golf, is often less about perfection than about learning to enjoy the journey.
On Pilgrimages… from an Anglican Pilgrim
Every pilgrimage begins with a single step, but its greatest discoveries are rarely found at the destination alone. Along the way, unexpected encounters, quiet prayers, and ordinary moments become instruments of God’s transforming grace. This reflection explores the deeper purpose of pilgrimage, reminding us that the journeys we undertake outwardly often become the pathways by which God reshapes us inwardly.

This reflection reminds us that faithful ministry is measured not by how much we accomplish, but by how well we love the people God places before us.
