The Club is privileged to call The University of Sydney - Camperdown Campus, its home. This 72-hectare site, located near the junction of Parramatta and City Roads and just 10 minutes from the CBD, features landscaped grounds, superb sports ovals and centres, museums, galleries, two major complexes devoted to student recreation and services, and of course the famous Quadrangle, among many other beautiful historic faculty buildings.
Sydney Uni Cricket Ground (formerly known as No. 1 Oval)
The Sydney Uni Cricket Ground (SUCG) is located within the main Camperdown campus on Western Avenue and overlooked by The Grandstand Bar & Function Centre. Entry on to campus is via Parramatta Road at the Ross St entrance or via Carillon Ave. Limited parking is available inside the Grandstand compound at the southern end of the ground, otherwise paid parking is available in the St Andrew's underground carpark on Cadigal Lane.
St Pauls Oval
St Paul's Oval is one of the most picturesque in Sydney with a view of the CBD skyline contrasting against the historical St Paul's College. The oval is best approached from City Road where you can only turn left into the college just after the Carillon Avenue intersection.
Parking on the college grounds is at your own risk. Please do not park in spaces allocated to college residents.
Camperdown Oval
With the loss of the 'No. 2 Oval' as a playing facility, Sydney Uni Cricket have created a partnership with Cricketers Club of NSW to share the use of Camperdown Oval for our Fifth Grade side. With significant work being put into the ground and its surrounds (including a new dressing room complex), Camperdown Oval has become a highly sought after cricket ground in the Inner West. Entry via Mallett Street, Camperdown.
Sydney Uni Football Ground (formerly No. 2 Oval)
The Sydney Uni Football Ground (SUFG) is the northern of the two main playing fields at Uni, close to Parramatta Road at the Ross St entrance.
The SUFG is our main training facility with turf nets on the eastern edge, the Martin Lambert Indoor Nets in the grandstand on the western edge, and a lighted field, used for our training sessions during the season.
Pay parking is available along Western Avenue.
Parking Areas
Parking on the Camperdown Campus is limited. Parking is available along Western Avenue with spaces filling early, tickets are approx. $6 all day on weekends. Parking is also available in the St Andrew's College underground carpark after 3.30pm on weekdays and all day on weekends, tickets are approx. $6 all day on weekends. Please adhere to all parking signs and requirements.

Governance in sport and recreation organisations : an analysis
Cahill, Michael (2001) Governance in sport and recreation organisations : an analysis. Coursework Master thesis, Victoria University of Technology.
Download (2MB)
This thesis examines emerging issues in the governance of non-profit sport and recreation organisations. Firstly, the thesis examines definitions of non-profit organisations and the contribution that non-profit organisations make to society, especially, the contribution to aspects of the civil society. The thesis then explores current theory relating to social capital formation, non-profit organisation governance and public sector reform and establishes a broader framework for considering issues relating to non-profit organisation governance. This framework is titled 'An enabling governance for social capital formation.' The thesis provides analysis of a self-assessment survey of government funded sport and recreation organisations in Victoria. The survey tested the level of satisfaction with organisation governance in the funded sport and recreation organisations. The survey elicited satisfaction ratings from Chairs, CEOs and non-executive board members against the elements of an enabling governance for social capital formation. The analysis identifies areas where there are low levels of satisfaction with governance performance. The thesis concludes, that it is by supporting improvement in these areas that government, and other supporters of non-profit organisations, could maximise the outcomes of governance improvement support programs.

Hackers.Media is a community dedicated to sharing everyday hacks / case studies of how media companies are hacking their way to profitability and success.
These hacks are anything from smart uses of technology, to new business models and innovative revenue streams.
Beyond this collaborative blog, Hackers.Media organise monthly meet-ups (breakfasts / drinks) in cities across Europe.
Hackers.Media was set up by Chris Quigley after being inspired by the people he met whilst on the road travelling across Europe meeting media companies in his role as Managing Director of Sharethrough Europe.
In his time at Sharethrough, Chris met c.100 different publishers in 15+ countries. From Istanbul to Oslo, as different as the cities Chris travelled to were, from a media business perspective all these countries has similar challenges: falling CPMs, increasing mobile usage, increasing ad blocking usage, revenues losses to Google and Facebook, staff losses, confusion of how to tackle programmatic, questions of how to approach native etc etc etc
And it was from meeting a wide range of interesting and inspirational people that Hackers.Media was born - the idea being to share ideas from around Europe (and the world) to help tackle industry challenges by hacking our way to success (and profitability) together.
Although started by Chris, Hackers.Media is very much a community, open to anyone in media wanting to share their ideas.

The fastest way to get a U.S. passport renewed is to call the National Passport Information Center and set up an appointment at a passport agency, as of 2015. These locations charge the standard passport renewal fee and the expedited fee. Some locations also require the applicant to demonstrate a need for immediate service, such as international travel plans within two weeks or the need for a foreign visa within four weeks.
Passport agencies usually only accept applications from people who schedule appointments in advance. Each applicant must follow all of the agency's instructions and bring the necessary documents, or the agency cannot accept the application.
Other passport renewal options include routine and expedited service. If the applicant chooses routine service, the U.S. Department of State processes the application within four to six weeks of its submission. If the applicant chooses expedited service, the department processes the application within eight days of receiving it. For expedited service with two-way express delivery, the entire process typically takes three weeks or less.
The U.S. Department of State provides passport application statuses online. This service is typically available within five to seven days of the application's submission, although this varies depending on the type of service selected.

Initially published in South Korea in 2014, The Accusation continues to make international history as the first literary work smuggled out of repressive North Korea, now headed for shelves around the world. Bandi—whose pseudonym is derived from firefly, an obvious nod to the insect's small light amid vast darkness—shockingly remains a prominent North Korean writer. None of his native readers, however, will ever have access to these seven illuminating stories that reveal desperate lives enduring terrifying day-to-day challenges. Written between 1989 and 1995, they share a common, reverberating theme: that survival—already threatened by starvation, betrayal, brutality—can hinge on details as absurdly trivial as a crate of rice seedlings, the timing of closed curtains, the placement of an elm tree, a travel pass. British translator Smith (whose rendering of Han Kang's The Vegetarian won 2016's Man Booker International Prize) expertly delivers Bandi's subversive prose with nuanced grace. The afterword further explicates the manuscript's remarkable journey out, with an additional note from the South Korean activist who enabled the precarious north-south crossing. As Bandi's characters both fear and sling accusations, the title takes on piercing gravitas for readers: knowingly turning a blind eye to such inhumanity is not an option.

By Way of an Introduction
Locomotive is the first and only high caliber Anglophone literary journal that is edited, published, and exported from Armenia, a small post-Soviet republic in the Caucasus. Its purpose is to showcase innovative writing from established and emerging glob- al voices and eventually connect those voices with the vibrant but isolated literary community in Armenia. In that way, Locomotive has a clear and unique mission.
Buttressing that mission is the newly founded Center for Creative Writing (CCW) at the American University of Armenia. The CCW brings together Armenian and non-Armenian writers, students, and scholars under one roof. It is the only such hub of creative writing and literary studies, not just in Armenia but in the Caucasus and Russia as a whole. Locomotive is one of the center's major projects.
Armenia, like other small, developing countries, walks a tightrope on a daily basis, teetering between apathy and hope, enthusiasm and cynicism, future and past. There is much possibility and positivity, but also a tremendous amount blocking the way.
Locomotive is a dent in that obstacle.
The power of poetry, of language—much trivialized and co-opted by neoliberalism and suffocated by rigid Putinism—is alive and well in Armenia, as it is around the world, in all the seemingly forgotten villages and cities that are exhausted from decades of unjust policies and unchecked oligarchies, where the voices of citizens are squeezed by internal and external greed and short- sightedness.
Like other ancient cultures, Armenia's literary tradition goes back many centuries. But because of its isolation, serious financial hardships, and other factors, contemporary Armenian literary output has suffered. But it has not vanished. On the contrary, a new generation of writers, however few, are producing works of tenderness, brutal beauty, and social importance.
It is time for them to be heard. It is time for all poets and writers in oppressed and struggling societies...
Locomotive is woke with you.

Secret of the Guruji - 5
I don't agree with them. Human body is a live thing. When life exists we cannot stay still. Though mind is not seen separately it is also an organ. It is hidden somewhere in the body. When it resides inside a body it is also a live thing. So mind cannot be inactive. The activity of the mind is the generation of thoughts. Without thoughts humans cannot exist.
As for my understanding many Rishis have accepted my concept. Lord Krishna had also highlighted in his Bhagvad Gita. He had said one cannot control the mind but there must be constant effort to control it. Regular practice will help us. Lord Krishna had said all thoughts conclude in him. That is, meditation is not being without thoughts .Channelizing the thoughts towards God or energy is meditation in my point of view. I think you would also accept my insight.
This is the beautiful explanation given by Guruji on meditation. This explanation has got its own knowledge, experience and love. People explain in incomprehensible language and that is why meditation is being looked upon as a herculean task. Simple Gnani's like Guruji doesn't dramatize but explain in a simple language. We know many thoughts of Guruji are simple and understandable.
Once when we all visited Uvari swayambulinga swamy in his Poorasirama village. After darshan he said his grandfather died in that temple. He said his grandfather was suffering from a dreadful disease and that his grandmother believed that God would save him and brought him to this temple, but he died. Man must be optimistic but cannot be superstitious. If diseases correct themselves then why did God created doctors and medicines? So, treating a disease and believing in God is different. I agree without his mercy we cannot cure any disease but avoiding treatment is not wise.
Beach of Uvari has a stone mandapam. Guruji used to sit and meditate here. The sound of tides and air will only be heard. It would be a total bliss to see Guruji in this posture. We would tell him that none of us have seen him meditate but only here we had an opportunity to see him meditate.
Not only in uvari , kanyakumari, Muppanthal Isaki amman temple on the way to kanyakumari, Thiruvannamalai, Tirupathi sreepadham ,Guruji starts meditating without any distraction. Sometimes in minutes, sometimes in hours. We asked the Disciple of Guruji, Santhnam about meditation. .He asked us to observe Guruji at 5 feet distance from his left side during meditation and to smell the air that surrounds him.
Once in Thiruvanamalai we had a opportunity to test . After new moon day, on the third day, at about 12 o clock in the night, Guruji was in meditation. As Santhanam told us we were waiting at the left side of Guruji and we couldn't see anything. As time passed we had a nice aroma of Javathu. The aroma filled the air and reached our lungs. We forget ourselves and came back to reality only when Guruji called us by our names.
We wondered how come we smelled the aroma of Javathu? We asked Santhanam about this. He said, when a person does good deeds, angels will bless. If he does bad things evil spirits will bless. Meditation is a good deed.
Angels like humans when they meditate .Because only humans has the ability to become oneself with God. Even they became angels and reached God only after a birth as humans. Meditation with Synchronization of the mind cannot be achieved in one birth. It will take many rebirths followed by becoming angels and the next birth as human will make us to reach the lotus feet of God. This effort by the humans to become angels is much adored by the angels, they will bless and protect from any obstacles.
When Guruji starts to meditate, the angels surround him and they help Guruji, which is known by the beautiful aroma of Javathu. When holiness prevail in an area, this aroma is always present. Not only in Thiruvannamai, wherever Guruji sits in mediation we can smell this aroma. We talk very casually with Guruji and get angry when he scolds us. We too make comments along with him and he behaves very much like a normal person. But how great he is?
Generations cannot find such a personality. Time cannot destroy his eminence. We are really blessed to have Guruji with us.
We slowly started to realize what Santhanam said. Many times in Kadakanur ashramam, when Guruji sits for meditation, we have felt the aroma of Javathu and strange movement of air. We said to Guruji that he meditates with total focus and expressed our desire to do the same .We asked him to share the sweetness of meditation. He said:
Meditation is not magic. It's a powerful Guru. It is not a gift to give. You must do meditation and nobody can do it for you. When you bell continuously you will hear the sound of "OM". Do meditation continuously. Every minute, every hour, every day think about meditation. Continuous practice will stabilize your mind. Guru should lead the way for the disciple. I can only guide you but you must walk with me-Said Guruji.
We understood that we should practice meditation. We put all our effort but like a school child there is lot of unanswered questions in our mind. One thing is definite. If meditation is linked with the mind .how holy persons like Guruji does strange thing above nature? Santhanam explained it to us:
When we prepare lunch, sambhar has a taste, curry has a taste and each food has a taste .If everything has to be tasted and felt nobody will like the food. The smell of the food travels through our nostrils and stimulates our taste buds. Our mind starts to imagine and it would urge us to taste the food. The same can be linked with Gnani's. Only when we hear his incredible experience we would also focus to meditate. Unnatural things that happen for Gnani's is a lesson for us.
Santhanam also added that this is not the only strange thing .Still we have many that we can see in the new moon day nights. He invited and kindled the fire in us by adding fuel of anxiety. From that day we waited for new moon day. We were riding our dream horses and finally the day came. Guruji was talking to us till 12 o clock and asked us to make him sit under a tree undisturbed until he calls. We obeyed and left the place but without winking our eyes we kept watching Guruji through a window in the Ashramam.
It's night time. New moon day. No lights. Only when we look deeply we could see Guruji. After concentrating deeply, Guruji was seen .He had pillow in his lap and his head was bowed down as usual. Suddenly we witnessed something that stopped our heart for a second. Like a balloon floats in air Guruji was seen one feet above the ground in sitting position. We couldn't believe our eyes. Is it a dream or reality or some magic? We were profusely sweating. As Santhanam said we controlled our voices and bowed in the direction of Guruji. We were at joy and he was floating for half an hour. Slowly he came to the ground and he called us.
We ran and cried at his feet pleading for blessing. He was calm and asked us to bring a cup of hot water. When we were away he scolded Santhanam for doing such an idiotic act. He said we are immature adolescence and we will only get more confused and asked him never to do this again. Santhanam held his head low in front of Guruji because of us. Since he asked us personally not to reveal this we maintained this secret for 6 years. After getting his consent we are documenting to make the readers understand Guruji better and deeper.

text: At Marin Prep, community service is part of our program. Each year, students in kindergarten through older grades participate in, contribute to, and learn about service organizations throughout the Bay Area. Our mission in developing these relationships is to teach about empathy and caring, and to convey the message that as volunteers, we have a lot to offer, but we also have a lot to learn. Projects include traditional service, such as holiday collections for local food banks. Some projects, such as the recent drive to replace computers at a local school following an episode of vandalism, come from the students themselves. We believe that age-appropriate community service at school, especially when mirrored and supported at home, is a powerful and lasting message.

Read Luke 14:26-27
What is a disciple? A follower of Jesus Christ, right? What does following Jesus look like? Read Luke 14:26. "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters - yes,even his own life - he cannot be my disciple." Wow, there is no room for half heartedness!
Look at verse 27 "And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be my disciple."
These are very pointed and serious words from Jesus, who is Lord over everything. But you know verse 27 really instructs me how to be a disciple of Jesus. We all have a cross to carry; it's unique to us. No one else can carry it, only us. What does carrying this cross accomplish? To me it identifies (like it did Jesus). It tells a message (the same one Jesus teaches). Most importantly, it brings glory to Jesus. It brings honor to Jesus, and it brings praise to Jesus. That is real worship. If you're ever at a loss of the focus of your worship, read verses like Isaiah 6:1-4 . It's the whole reason we're breathing.

Wednesday, August 13, 2008
In 2005, the Ontario government decided to transfer the operation of Georgetown Hospital from William Osler Health Centre to Halton Healthcare Services. During the transition, historical clinical data was left on the Osler system, and after the transfer, many of the physicians remained at Georgetown and still provided service to Osler. In order to provide clinicians with access to patient data from both organizations, a "provider portal" was deemed the best approach to meet the clinical data sharing needs of physicians and clinicians.
The IT staff from Halton and Osler worked together to identify available vendor solutions, and during the request for proposals process, three other hospitals — Credit Valley Hospital, Trillium Health Centre and Headwaters Health Care — became involved in the evaluation because it was felt they might join the network later. In 2006, Credit Valley acquired a licence for the provider portal; Trillium and Headwaters followed in 2008.
In a presentation at the eHealth Summit, Dan Germain, vice-president, CFO and CIO at Credit Valley, explained how the Rapid Electronic Access to Clinical Health Information (REACH) system was deployed. The REACH provider portal (provided by Medseek) is a web-based Portal solution that consolidates clinical patient data from disparate vendor systems (in real-time) into a unified, patient-centric view regardless of site location.
Currently, the REACH portal allows viewing of allergies and alerts, laboratory results, pharmacy medications, pathology reports, radiology images and reports, ECG tracings, clinical orders, clinical documentation, scanned paper records, rounding reports, and other clinical data. It's developed on a federated data model, where data is stored at each entity. The REACH server consolidates the clinical data in real time, presenting it to the user in a web browser in milliseconds. It's similar to a Health Information Access Layer (HIAL.)
The REACH portal also employs an Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI.) However, once access is granted to use the Ontario EMPI, REACH will interface to that application. The Credit Valley Hospital's IT team was impressed by the speed with which this application was deployed, Germain said. Implementation was accomplished over a few months, and in the words of users, testing was similar to a systems upgrade. Since the application is very intuitive, users required little if any training.
Before deployment at CVH, a privacy impact assessment was performed. The only significant recommendation was to mandate the use of a pass-code keyfob for remote access via the Internet. Since patient-specific data is only stored once, responsibility for data security and integrity remains with each host hospital.
By the spring of this year, William Osler, Halton and Credit Valley were using the provider portal extensively. Every month, hundreds of physicians and clinicians log onto REACH, one-third of whom are users looking at their patients that have been seen at other facilities. There are now over 9,000 views per month. As well as integrating into the Ontario HIAL and EMPI, Germain said future plans for this initiative include additional clinical content such as operating room systems and realtime physiological wave-form monitoring. REACH is also to extend a Patient Portal providing patient's range of other self-care services directly accessible online.

Canadian electronic health record (EHR) projects quadruple in four years
By Richard Pizzi, Associate Editor 08/12/08
Canada's electronic health record projects increased by 12 percent last year and have quadrupled since 2004, according to Richard Alvarez, president and CEO of Canada Health Infoway.
"Canadians want their medical information available electronically to the clinicians who care for them and that's starting to happen in communities across Canada," said Alvarez.
"Collaboration among governments is at an all-time high and with continued federal funding, we are well on our way to providing every Canadian with an electronic health record by 2016."
Canada Health Infoway is an independent, not-for-profit organization funded by the Canadian government. It jointly invests with every province and territory to accelerate the development and adoption of EHR projects in Canada.
Infoway approved $311.5 million in new EHR investments in 2007-08, bringing the total cumulative value of its investments to $1.457 billion, or 89 percent of Infoway's $1.6 billion in capitalization by the Canadian government. The investment brings the total number of projects underway to 254, representing a four-fold increase from the 53 projects that were underway in 2004.
"The electronic health record projects the government of Canada is investing in are coming alive (and) bringing tangible results," said Tony Clement, Canada's federal minister of health.
Clement noted, for example, that in Nova Scotia, a shared diagnostic imaging program provides digital images of X-rays, MRIs, CT scans and ultrasounds to authorized healthcare providers. He said patients in Canada's remote northern communities are connected with healthcare professionals in urban centers through telehealth, and electronic medical records are generating results in the face of growing clinician shortages and administrative demands.
Alvarez said he's seeing steady progress in all Infoway-funded electronic health record programs including registries, diagnostic imaging and laboratory and drug programs. He said Infoway would continue to target investments in "replicable solutions that support health system transformation, such as telehealth and public health surveillance."

Healthcare and Web 2.0
Healthcare systems are undergoing a series of complex transformations. Consumers are demanding better services and information that enables provider transparency and a more personalized service delivery model. This shift in healthcare has already begun, whether or not healthcare delivery organizations are ready to respond or not. We are quickly moving away from the traditional models of medicine and towards a patient-centric model with the intent to deliver more efficient care, whilst simultaneously improving patient outcomes.
The advent of new web 2.0 eHealth technologies is serving as a powerful catalyst and today's savvy consumers (patients) are demanding that the often slow-moving healthcare industry act in response to their evolving needs.
The increasing expectations of consumers is a clear reflection of wider societal changes that have been evolving for a number of years, however, the pace of these trends has recently accelerated. In particular, the ability to articulate and communicate (1:1) individual preferences and demands has been made far easier with advancing web technologies. Such tools, for example, have enabled even novice internet users to create and edit content online. It's clear; today's Patients are becoming better informed and more web savvy; increasingly seeking services that allow them to take an active role in managing their health.
Patient Empowerment
Empowering patients to take more control over their health extends to those actions individuals and take for themselves, their children, their families and others to stay fit and maintain good physical and mental health; meet social and psychological needs; prevent illness or accidents; care for minor ailments and long-term conditions; and maintain health and well being after an acute illness or discharge from hospital. This "Self-care" is also one of the key building blocks for patient-centric healthcare delivery, and research shows that supporting self-care improves health outcomes, increases patient satisfaction, and reduces the increasing administrative burden.
This (r)evolution is also driven by things like the increased adoption of online services via broadband and mobile devices; the enhanced ability to connect with individuals in other social networks; the continuing ease in submitting content online; and the growing participation of users with similar interests in online communities. People are flocking to online communities to share personal health experiences as well as learn from others with similar experiences or conditions. Patient feedback on treatments and providers for example, has begun to develop into an online system that generates transparency in the health system. Today's web-savvy patients are using web tools to take responsibility for managing their own health status and care-path rather than always relying on experts or the 'doctor knows best' assumption. This self-service (self-care) trend effectively bridges the gap between caregivers and patients – before, during, and after the hospital stay and has far-reaching implications.
Heightened Transparency and Accountability
One of the central components of today's healthcare delivery (and public health at large) is information. The use of eHealth (ICT) technologies related to gathering and retrieving patient data is already important and will only become more important in the future.
Millions of dollars are spent each year in Canada alone on patients with chronic diseases who do not receive the recommended care designed to keep their conditions under control. New web 2.0 consumer tools and service models for chronic conditions are taking shape and the trend toward measurement of clinical outcomes is increasing and irreversible. As both regulatory agencies and consumers insist today on measuring the quality of care across a wide variety of clinical areas, "best-practice" treatment models emerge. This follows the growing awareness that quality equals affordability and that the best way to control long-term costs is to provide higher quality care today.
The Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Technology can be intimidating, however Practitioners recognize today that the use of a comprehensive, transferrable EHR promises to protect patients from preventable errors such as medication mistakes, surgical complications, and much more. It's proven that extending care delivery stakeholders access to timely, evidence-based and expert information, enables more efficient and better-informed decisions. A recent Advertising campaign by Rexall Drugs in Canada identifies that as many as 200,000 Canadians are hospitalized annually from negative interactions with medications. Moreover, a (US-based) 2008 New England Journal of Medicine survey found that "82 percent of those using such electronic records said they improved the quality of clinical decisions, 86 percent said they helped in avoiding medication errors, and 85 percent said they improved the delivery of preventative care."
So, whether the goal is to heighten prevention, detection, integration, or extend patients self-management---our healthcare delivery paradigm is clearly shifting to focus on connecting individuals rather than infrastructure---effectively putting patients (and clinicians) at the centre of new models of connectivity for improved communication and collaboration.
May the dreams of our past be the reality of our future.

As promised here are some pics of the dragons, mum and baby! Just love the colours and expressions dont you?! Also here is my troll, he is so adorable. If the troll was al little smaller I would have had him sat in the corner of the conservatory with pots surrounding him, all broken and smashed, as he has a sort of mischevious, but sorry look about his face! But he looks a little too large for the scale.
The other day browsing Etsy I found this glorious table, just perfect for the grand hall. 11 inches long, it fits the grand Hall perfectly. as I can only fit one table, why not make it a luxury one like this! It is beautifully made, and I cant wait to buy more form this fabulous seller. I already have my eye on other items of his! http://www.etsy.com/shop/cottageminiatures

How do I help prevent RSV disease?
RSV disease is spread just as easily as the flu. Sneezing, coughing, and touching are all examples of ways RSV can put your infant at risk. A few extra precautions taken by you and your family and friends can help protect your baby.
Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your baby, and ask others to do the same
Wash your baby's toys, clothes and bedding often
Keep your baby away from crowds and young children, as well as people with colds
Don't let anyone smoke in your home or near your baby
Tobacco smoke irritates babies' airways. It affects the growth of their lungs. While all babies can be harmed by tobacco smoke, premature babies are especially prone to lung problems when they leave the nursery
Remember, although there is no cure for RSV disease, there are measures you can take to help protect your baby from RSV.
Talk to your child's healthcare provider to learn more about a therapeutic option to help protect your baby from RSV.Learn More

7. To cite this resource
Manchester was created a diocese in 1847, carved out of the Diocese of Chester in response to the huge upsurge in population in the North West of England as a result of the Industrial Revolution. This being the case, the Cathedral is a comparatively recent one. Externally the Cathedral building is easy to miss, situated at the northern extremity of the city centre, overshadowed by high rise tower blocks and offices. The building is small scale for a cathedral, and the exterior stonework is for the most part Victorian, giving the impression to the passer-by of a large parish church.
It is not until one passes over the threshold of the south porch that one is struck by the age of the building, the gloriously rich woodwork, and the history behind it. There is evidence for the presence of an Anglo-Saxon church on or near the site, in the form of an ancient carved stone bearing the image of an angel, discovered amidst infill rubble within the south wall during the 19th century restoration of the church. Around 1220, a large stone-built parish church was erected on the site.
Two centuries later, however, the church was dramatically raised in status. The twelfth Baron of Manchester, Thomas de la Warre, petitioned for the parish church to be appropriated and formed into a collegiate church. The Baron was himself a priest, having been sent into the church as a younger sibling, not expected to inherit the title. The ancient parish of Manchester was some sixty square miles in area, and included thirty townships other than Manchester itself. Thomas de la Warre, as one of two priests serving the parish, understood the need for more priests to administer the cure of souls in Manchester, and gained first Papal, then Royal approval for the founding of the Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George at Manchester in 1421. The college comprised one warden and eight fellows, as well as two chaplains, four singing men and six singing boys. The Baron gifted his Baronial Hall to the college for the accommodation of the members of the foundation. The site was reconstructed as cloisters around a quadrangle on the north side of the church, and the buildings remain to this day as Chetham's Library and Chetham's School of Music, one of the finest surviving examples of collegiate church buildings.
The church, too, was enlarged and embellished as befitted a collegiate church during the 15th and early 16th century. The choir stalls, containing some of the most exquisite mediaeval misericords in Europe, date from this period. It was this church, then, "th'owd church", as it became affectionately known, that in the mid-19th century was the obvious candidate for elevation to become the seat of the new Bishop of Manchester.
Just as the Cathedral has been unjustly overlooked in the past, so too have its archives. The Cathedral archives date predominantly from the 16th century onwards, although there are several charters from the foundation in 1421, and the earliest item is a title deed from 1361, discovered in 2006 in a 'miscellaneous box'. The archives are housed on site at the Cathedral in a purpose built strongroom above the north porch.
In 2003, the Cathedral formed a partnership with Chetham's Library to gain heritage lottery funding for the cataloguing of the Cathedral's archives. Over the past three and a half years, the Cathedral archives have been fully catalogued for the first time to the International Standard of Archival Description. Prior to 2003, the last serious attention the archives received was in 1948 in the aftermath of the Second World War, when Dean Garfield Hodder Williams invited Albert Hollaender, Keeper of Manuscripts at the Guildhall Library in London, to come to Manchester to inspect what archives had survived the damage inflicted on the Cathedral by the Luftwaffe in 1940. Hollaender produced a summary listing of the archives at a high level, covering approximately one third of the material now assembled.
The new full catalogue is now available on A2A (www.a2a.org.uk), and the Archives of Manchester Cathedral are for the first time made accessible for serious research. The documents here provide a cross-section of the collection, illustrating some of the most important functions of the Collegiate Church through a most interesting period of its history.
There is a natural division in the material comprising the Cathedral collection, as reflected in the
cataloguing, between Parochial and Capitular material; that is the records of the Parish as against
those relating to the Chapter, i.e. the records of the warden and fellows of the Collegiate Church
or their successors, the dean and canons of the Cathedral.
Capitular Records
On the Capitular side, the central records are the minutes of Chapter meetings. The online collection includes the first two surviving Chapter Registers containing the Chapter minutes from 1635 to 1870 (MS 21/1-2). The minutes cease during the English Civil War. At times, the minutes recorded can be dry accounts of appointments of fellows or choristers to the foundation and the appending of the common Chapter seal to leases of land; at other times, the minutes represent a very full record of correspondence received, debates within the Chapter on various issues, and disciplinary action taken against members of the College. The Chapter minutes should be the first resource to be explored on any subject.
One of the main concerns of the Chapter was the administration of the Chapter Estates from which the foundation derived its income. Manchester and Durham are the only Cathedral Chapters to retain the administration of their ancient endowment estates. The Cathedrals Measure of 1931 required the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to make schemes for the compulsory transfer to them of the endowments of all Cathedrals in return for a monetary consideration. Manchester and Durham were exempted, perhaps because their estates were professionally managed at the time.
The original Chapter Estates comprised land in the parsonage area of Manchester, where the original rectory had been before the foundation of the College, together with the township of Kirkmanshulme (which translates as 'Churchman's Meadow'), also known as Newton Detached, in Longsight; the whole of Newton Heath and Miles Platting, and also some smaller areas of land in Rusholme and Salford. The Kirkmanshulme land is recorded as belonging to the Church in the Domesday Book, whilst the Newton Heath land appears to have been added in the 12th century.
For the next five centuries, these lands remained purely agricultural, and were let on short leases to farmers and others by the warden and fellows of the Collegiate Church. When the Industrial Revolution broke upon England in the latter half of the 18th century, however, the extraordinarily rapid wwwelopment of Manchester brought the land at Newton and Kirkmanshulme within the orbit of demand for building land. wwwelopment of such rapidity after centuries of an almost stationary agricultural economy was something which could not possibly have been foreseen and for which the whole country was unprepared. The warden and fellows found that their powers of leasing were inadequate for the new demand, and it was not until the middle of the 19th century that adequate powers were obtained.
The power to grant 'building leases' with forty-year terms was obtained through Parliament in the 1750s, following rewwwelopment of the parsonage land for the building of a new sister church, St Mary's. Later in the century the first ninety-nine year leases were granted, and for several decades considerable wwwelopment took place on building leases of that length. In 1861 powers were obtained to grant leases of 999 years, and from that date onward, practically all the building leases granted were for that term. In the 1960s, by reason of the expiry of the ninety-nine year leases granted between 1795 and 1861, the Chapter managed some estates in hand. In some cases, 999 year leases were granted, but mostly the Chapter took the properties over and managed them because of their age and poor state, which restricted interest in buying or leasing them.
In more recent years, the ground rent from properties on 999 year leases became more expensive to collect than it was worth because of the effects of inflation. The majority of the ancient endowment was therefore sold off and the profits mostly invested in the stock market. In the turbulent market of the 1990s, the Chapter turned again to property and new properties were purchased in areas outside Manchester.
The Cathedral Archives, therefore, contain a detailed picture of changing land use in the centre of the world's first industrial city, and the attempts of the church as a prominent landowner, to deal with unprecedented change in demand for land. Detailed accounting survives from 1761, and, for the hundred years from 1850 to 1950, the whole accounting system is preserved, from annual statements of account down to individual receipts.
The online collection contains the first six volumes of annual accounts, 1761-1874 (Annual accounts or statements of receipt and disbursement (1761-1874) covering the period of greatest change (there are some gaps in the series). These form an excellent resource for tracing both the income and expenditure of the College. It is possible through this source to trace, for example, the rate of extraction of coal from the 'Bradford Colliery', Newton Heath, which was let out as a mining interest by the warden and fellows separately from the surface land.
Alongside the accounts, the online collection includes an Abstract Book of Leases, 1672-1869, (Abstract Book of Leases, 1679-1869), and a Boundaries Book for Chapter Estates in Newton, Kirkmanshulme and Rusholme from circa 1760 (Boundaries Book of Newton, Kirkmanshulme and Rusholme, c.1760), containing coloured plans in pen and ink with descriptions giving name of plot/field, with statute and Lancashire measures of acres, roods and perches. For later comparison included are three estate plans, showing Newton Heath, Kirkmanshulme and Deansgate, from the latter half of the 19th century and the early 20th century (Estate Plans (Newton Heath, Kirkmanshulme, Deansgate). The plan of Kirkmanshulme illustrates inter alia the wwwelopment of Belle Vue Zoo.
Two series of title deeds have also been included in the online collection to serve as examples of the wider holdings of title deeds (Chapter Estate Records). One series involves a property known as "Jefferson's" on Deansgate in the centre of Manchester, whilst the other is for a farmstead at Kirkmanshulme, known as "Kenyon's". Each series stretches from the 1670s into the 19th century, thereby covering the period of greatest change from rural backwater to urban centre.
The Deansgate property remains virtually unchanged from 1679 to 1717, on a rent of 4 shillings per annum. Suddenly in 1724, the rent doubles to 8 shillings, and then trebles to £1, 4s in 1760, increasing to £1, 18s in 1767. By the 19th century, the premises are identified as number 90 Deansgate and are being used as a public house called "The Golden Lion".
The Kirkmanshulme property tells the same story of sudden ground rental inflation in the 18th century, leaping from £1, 8s per annum in 1765 to £3, 18s, 9d in 1772, and £60, 11s, 4d in 1806. 'Kenyons' is described as including several named fields, with an area of between 21 and 23 acres. As the 19th century drew on, the property was split up into many smaller plots for building upon and was sublet. Materials to be used in the buildings to be erected are specified, as well as the required rental value. The intrusion of the railways across the premises is documented with compulsory purchases and settlements, as is the building of roads. The life of the "Crown Inn" is also plotted through these deeds. The final surrender of the premises in 1881 records 27 different plots of land (being only part of what formerly comprised "Kenyon's"). This is fairly typical of what was happening to all the former farmsteads on the Chapter Estates.
Alongside the College's land ownership, the Chapter also had possession of the Lordship of the Manor of Newton and its members (which, in effect, included all the tenants of the College, whether in Newton or elsewhere). This was a mesne manor within the Manor of Manchester. Regular Courts Leet and Baron were held by the warden, or by his steward, at which the officers for the year would be appointed, presentments made, and fines handed out for failing to attend the court or failing to obey the court's orders.
Two surviving volumes of Manor Court books have been included, covering a period from 1775 to 1914 (Manor Court Books for Newton, 1775-1837 & 1843-1914). These volumes record the proceedings of the manor court sessions. There were two court sessions per year, (one at Easter and one at Michaelmas) and each one is described as "The Court Leet and View of Frankpledge with the Court Baron". The volumes list amercements for non-attendance, for encroachments, for not maintaining rights of way, and for other offences such as putting geese onto the common without a "yoak". The following officers were elected each October: constables, bylaw men, miselayers, and pinders. The 'Call Book' list of residents is copied into the book after each court session.
These two volumes are useful both for tracking residency patterns in Manchester, and also for
studying the maintenance of roads and bridges in a rapidly wwweloping city. The first volume was
described as "missing" in 1904, when an edition of the earlier manor court papers was prepared by
H.T. Crofton (Chetham Society vol 53, 1904). The Manor Court Book was discovered in 2006
amongst the contents of a tin chest in the Muniments Room alongside other legal papers,
presumably having been deposited by the Cathedral solicitors later in the 20th century.
Parochial Records
On the parochial side, the intention has again been to convey an overall impression of the workings of the Cathedral by giving a sample slice through the collection.
The main holdings on the parochial side are the parish registers of baptism, marriage and burial, from 1573 to the present. This is the largest series of such registers in the country (for a single parish). This is because of the geographical area of the ancient parish (sixty square miles), not in itself untypical for the north west of England, combined with the sudden massive increase in population during the Industrial Revolution. The Collegiate Church also retained a virtual monopoly over the licence for marriages. Couples could be wed at a Chapel of Ease, but would pay fees twice over, once to the Chapel and once to the Collegiate Church. The result was that people would travel from miles around to be married at the Collegiate Church in Manchester. At the peak, in 1837, there were 7285 baptisms, and in 1834, there were 3157 marriages.
This remained the case until 1850 when the Manchester Rectory Division Bill was passed, and the ancient parish was divided, leaving the newly created Cathedral with a residual parish of only one square mile in the centre of the city. The effects of the Act were delayed, however, as the minor canons then in post were allowed to continue to receive the second fees until their retirement. Consequently, there was not a significant drop in numbers being baptised and wed until the very end of the 19th century. Burial had ceased by the middle of the century because of lack of space for interments.
A series of parish registers has been microfilmed previously by the Church of the Latter Day Saints. The parish registers included in this online collection, however, have never before been microfilmed as these are the neat parchment versions of the registers, which were discovered only in 2006, hidden behind a wooden chest. These had been overlooked in the 1948 listing by Albert Hollaender. Amazingly, a separate series of neat copies of the registers was recorded on parchment well into the second half of the 19th century, showing the pride taken by the church-wardens and parish clerks of Manchester in recording these record numbers of ceremonies. The neat registers chosen give full coverage for baptisms, marriages and burials between 1809 and 1821.
Another previously overlooked resource included in this online collection is the Banns Books, 1733- 1928 (Banns Books (1733-1928). Often it is the case that banns books would be discarded once they had been completed, being seen as nothing more than superfluous duplications of the marriage registers. Luckily, this is not the case at Manchester Cathedral, where the banns books survive from 1733 to the present. In the past the banns books have been ignored and, whereas many of the parish registers were rebound in the early 20th century, the banns books were left to decay on the shelves. Equally, when it came to the microfilming of the parish registers by the Church of the Latter Day Saints, the banns books were not considered.
The Manchester banns books do not deserve to be ignored, however, as they document another very interesting phenomenon, which is not mentioned in the marriage registers. It appears that as many as one in five of the banns read in church did not result in a marriage, and very often the reason is recorded, eg: the under-age bride or groom not having the required parental consent, the objections of a clerk from a different parish (missing out on his fee), or the red-handed capture of a bigamist. The volume of objections to banns can be gauged by reference to MS 20, the Banns Objections Register for 1815-1836. This lists all the marriages against which objections were raised, and gives a cross reference to the page in the relevant banns book. A thesis is waiting to be written on this topic. These banns books are also useful to the family as well as social historian during a particular period (5 Feb 1849 to 20 Oct 1850 and 20 Jul 1851 to 1878) when the volumes record the length of residence of the bride and groom at their given addresses, not found in the marriage registers.
Also included among the parochial records in this online collection are the Chaplains'/Minor Canons' and Clerks' Fees Books, in four volumes, 1844-1898 (Chaplains'/Minor Canons' and Clerks' Fees Books). These record the daily numbers of churchings, burials, licences, banns askings, and marriage lines, with itemised fees, and weekly totals. They also detail which chaplain performed these duties. The later volumes record also the clerks' fees for searches, certificates and completing the registers. Along with the Summary Marriage Registers 1838-1847, (Baptism, Burial, Marriage, Summary Marriage and Banns Objections Registers) these are an excellent resource for tracking the huge numbers of ceremonies carried out at Manchester Cathedral during the 19th century, by a comparatively small number of people. Two successive chaplains, Joshua Brookes and Cecil Wray, claimed to be the most prolific baptisers, marriers and buriers in all Christendom.
Finally, the workings of the churchwardens are made apparent through this collection, both as administrators of charities, and as the people responsible for the day-to-day running of the church. A sample period has been selected covering 1814-1815.
Churchwardens' vouchers, 1814-1815, contains 109 receipts for expenditure by the churchwardens in running the church, including receipts for laundry, communion wine, clock winding, bell ringing, materials for altar cloths and vestments, stationery, maintenance, the parish organist's salary, parators' salaries, printing, solicitors' fees, fine port and spirits for the clergy/churchwardens. The period selected is a fairly typical example, but also includes some out of the ordinary elements, such as the re-casting of the tenor bell (receipt nos. 45, 91-93 and 102); building a wall at the new burial ground, Walker's Croft, consecrated in 1815 (receipt nos. 49-51); and work on Roman cementing the interior of the church by Robert Hughes (receipt no. 66), a process which damaged the fabric of the building to such an extent that, by the middle of the 19th century, the whole Cathedral was in danger of collapse and had to be restored, stone by stone.
Strangeways Charity Vouchers, 1814-1815 represents the expenses claimed by one of the churchwardens, Thomas Salter for that same year, for the administration of the Strangeways Widows Charity. This charity was founded in 1711 by Catherine Richards to help the 'widows of decayed tradesmen of Manchester' and to educate and apprentice out their children. These receipts are typical of the series, including: receipts for John Thornton's quarterly salary for teaching the School; a receipt for £6 rent to Lord Ducie for the school in Tipping Court; ten widows' signed (or marked) receipts for their charity payments of £2, 10s on the 10th November and the 10th May; three receipts for £1, 5s paid for the funeral expenses of some of the widows.
The Strangeways Charity School was not the only school administered by the churchwardens. In documents relating to charities are two volumes of accounts for the Collegiate Church Charity Schools. These were set up in 1762 after several meetings of the clergy and churchwardens of the Collegiate and Parish Church of Manchester. The schools were to be supported by money from the Offertory and governed by the warden and fellows or the churchwardens, who could appoint and suspend a master, mistress, and the scholars. Only children of parishioners were allowed to attend.
All the scholars (60 boys and 60 girls) were supplied with a 'complete suit of wearing apparel' and to 'encourage the ... industry and frugality of their parents', each child was to pay 1d per week towards the cost of their clothes. The children were expected to attend for at least a year, or else forfeit their clothes, and the parents were expected to provide apprenticeship places for their children when they reached the age of ten.
The two volumes of accounts illustrate the financial management of the endowments of the schools by the churchwardens, and describe the patterns of expenditure, 1762-1893. The first volume also includes copies of invoices received for materials for uniforms, and accounts of offertories received (including numbers of communicants at services) 1762-1780.
Finally, a volume of the accounts of the Corles Charity has been included. This was not
administered by the churchwardens, but by the chaplains or minor canons. Corles Charity dates
from the 10th July 1732 when a widow, Jane Corles, left £55 to be invested in the names of the two
chaplains of the Collegiate Church as trustees. The interest was to be distributed in bread or
money, as the chaplains thought fit, at Christmas, to poor persons regularly attending divine service
at the Collegiate Church.
Min Can 1/Corl/1 documents the dealings of this charity for the period
1848-1919, initially recording details of the recipients as follows: name, age, birth date, and address.
The aim of this online collection is to illustrate the workings of a collegiate church during a period of immense change. The Cathedral Church of Manchester has been at the centre of the city of Manchester's history and yet has been unjustly overlooked in the past. As a result of the Cathedral's archives having been comprehensively catalogued for the first time in their history, exciting new resources have come to light. Much of this material has never been studied before, and the time is now ripe for fresh research. It is hoped that this online resource will safeguard this historic collection for the future, whilst also broadening access for researchers to an untapped mine of information.

For four weeks now at Calvary, we have been in a mini-series about temptation, testing, and sin. This is the nitty-gritty of the Christian life. And if the emails and conversations are any indication (and, or course, they are), we really need this. We need to remind and educate ourselves on the terrifying nature, reality, and consequences of falling prey to the temptations of the Devil and spiraling into the slaughter of sin. But we must also be careful to recognize that we do not face this adversary alone. Even though we have betrayed him countless times, God does not leave us stranded and deserted to face the Enemy of our souls.
The Christian life on earth is a conflict with sin. And therein is the dreadfulness of our situation on earth displayed. But we are not left to fight the battle alone. The Christian life is a conflict of God - not of us - with sin. And therein is the joy and glory of our situation on earth manifested. As sinners we are in a terrible plight. As the servants of God, fighting His battle, we are in a glorious case. [Faith and Life (London, 1916), 202, B.B. Warfield]
I am working hard, doing my best, in these sermons to make them concrete. To provide very specific ways we may join with God in the battle against our sin. That we may put to death the deeds of the body by the Spirit (Rom. 8:13). This last Sunday the weapon of war was to cultivate a superior affection for Jesus, over and against our affections for sin. Maybe you were there and heard the message. Maybe you've been wondering how to do that.
One of the chief ways for you to see sin as God sees it, to receive the power of the Holy Spirit to drain the life out of sin, to see and fellowship with our Lord Jesus, to weaken the power of sin and strengthen your love for Jesus, is to...
Friends, we must talk with Jesus about these things. And as we do, be clear on this - the process of draining the life from sin and strengthening our love for Jesus will not be accomplished quickly. It will take time. It will take days. It may take months. Wait patiently.
Maybe you are not sure how to pray. Did you know that one of the best ways to grow in your prayers is to pray with others? We all need models.
So I am going to close this article with a wonderful model of a prayer to Jesus. A prayer about the full extent of the love of Jesus for you, even as you struggle with temptations, testings, and sin. Print it out, and have someone pray it aloud with you. And may your love for Jesus be fanned into flame in the days ahead.
See you Sunday.
Having loved his own who were in the world, he [Jesus] loved them to the end— he showed them the full extent of his love. John 13:1Dear Lord Jesus, this story always grabs my heart, but today it's rekindling awe. It's the night of your betrayal—the night you would be denied and abandoned, not just by Peter, but by all of your handpicked disciples. You knew their betrayal was looming, and yet you persisted in disrobing yourself, bending low, and washing the dirty feet of these broken, bungling men.The beauty and truth revealed in this scene is what keeps me sane—gospel sane. It anchors me when I lose my moorings, centers me when I feel crazy, quiets me when I'm restless, reels my heart in when I am in a wandering mode.The staggering thing is, this is exactly how you love each of your followers, all of your disciples, your whole bride. You've made us your own. You bought us with the very price of your blood. We were redeemed from sin and death and placed into your righteousness and embrace. Absolutely nothing can separate us from your love.While we're in this world, you're constantly loving us, without any regrets or reservations. You're loving us when we're alive to your presence and affections; you're loving us when it feels like you're ignoring our prayers, indifferent to our pain, or displeased with our lives. In fact, whether we perceive it or not, the most constant reality in our lives is not death and taxes, but your loving kindness.Lord Jesus, it's the last line in this little verse that does me in and does me so good. As with the men in the upper room, so with us in any of a number of rooms right now: you remain committed to showing us the full extent of your love—its height, depth, width, and breadth. This turns our gaze to your cross, for it's in your death, Jesus, that we realize that there's no greater love to be found anywhere. On the cross, you laid down your life for others: for the rebel other, the foolish other, the sinful other—for me.Though you died for a huge pan-national bride, I declare today that the Son of God loved me and gave himself for me (Gal. 2:20). This isn't narcissism; it is necessity. It's not selfish; it's sacred. It's not Western individualism; it's deeply personal.I'm once again in awe, Jesus. Intensify my awe even more in response to your august love on this mid-August day. So very Amen I pray, in your truly astonishing name.(a prayer prayed by Scotty Smith)

Max Patch
Max Patch Trip Report (#13400)
- Signed By: Travis Sutton Byrd
- Date submitted: December 20, 2000
DRP and I went up and over while on an overnighter (we did the AT segment Max Patch into Hot Springs). This was a most enjoyable trip. The view from the summit was, as always (at least when it's clear), excellent. The weather changed, however, and the next day we hiked along Bluff Mtn in fog, sleet/snow/rain, and goodly winds. Coming down into Hot Springs-- seeing the French Broad from above, glimpsing a westbound freight-- was excellent. I have spent many other times at Max Patch-- in the snow, in the sun, with and without dogs, alone and with friends, with and without women. It is one of my favorite places in the world and a great place to fly a kite.

We found an apartment in North Miami our first day here and have now settled in. Our favorite feature of the apartment is the view of the bay from our balcony.
I was nervous about traveling with two cats by myself in a car for 24 hours (while Chris drove a moving truck), but I found a lot of great advice online which really helped. I'm going to summarize it here, just in case Google leads someone else making a cross-country move to this blog post.
How to Travel Long Distance with Cats by Car -
- Each cat should be in their own space. We used two small Midwest dog crates, which fit perfectly in the backseat. There was a pet bed in each, which Merlot and Chianti snuggled up in and slept the majority of the time.
- Bring a spare car key and leave the air conditioner running when you make stops. Also bring something along, such as towels, to block sunlight which helps prevent cats from overheating.
- Remove food and water a few hours before leaving to avoid any motion sickness issues and the need for a litterbox. I offered, but neither cat wanted any food nor water until we had arrived at our final destination each night.
- La Quinta and Marriott both have many pet-friendly hotels within their chains. Oh, and luggage carts which are really helpful in transporting pets!
It's funny to come to Miami for the first time ever and not do any touristy things. I haven't seen the beach but I have been to the DMV. After getting new driver's licenses and registering our car today, we headed to Casa Vieja for lunch. Only after being seated, did we realize the Colombian restaurant was connected to an ice rink.
So while dining on fajitas and quesadillas, and enjoying tropical drinks, we watched figure skaters do some pretty impressive routines through the glass wall at the end of our booth. Now that I'm living in Miami, I need to learn how to make piña coladas at home!
Did you know that hurricane season starts June 1? That isn't something I was aware of until I started researching life in South Florida. The rain was torrential from almost the moment we crossed from Georgia into Florida, but today was even worse. We have gotten 13.94 inches of rain in the past 6 hours!
Tonight we talked with people who had to abandon their cars because the roads are so bad here. Chris attempted to get food by walking to the grocery store, but after wading through knee-high water, he found the doors sandbagged and the store closed. Our first two days in Miami have definitely been interesting!

1 Peter Series message 14
Text: 1 Peter 2:13-17
We are citizens of heaven and pilgrims passing through in this world, so how do we interface with earthly leaders? God establishes rulers and Peter has instructions on how to relate with our governing authorities. Even if we do not agree with policies or are oppressed, the scriptural mandate is clear. Special attention will be given to the commands to honor, love, and fear.
