Kippax UC made page 2 of the Canberra Times (newspaper) yesterday, 16th February. The CT photo showed the two ministers.The extensive story was about the minister-exchange of Rev. Gordon Ramsay to Belville Congregational Church in Capetown, South Africa, and -- more notably -- the exchange to Kippax of Rev. Danny George. 10 weeks of exchange each way saw Danny greet Gordon, Lyndelle and their children, Joel and Justine, in mid-December. Danny reached Kippax in time for the Christmas services. The exchange-back took place at Kippax on Sunday, when Danny ceremonially handed back the church keys, diectory of names, and a candle, as symbols of returning the ministry. The wider story will be written up for the paper version of Insights, after I have transcribed parts of the radio interview that I did with Danny a week ago. Stephen Webb may allow me to share the story ahead of press-day with the rest of Australia via this list. :-) Peter ------------------------------------------------------ - You are subscribed to the mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put in the message body 'unsubscribe insights-l' (ell, not one (1)) See: http://nsw.uca.org.au/insights-l-information.htm ------------------------------------------------------
