Thursday, February 03, 2005 Gary on Tim Winton etc.It took me a little. I read 'Dirt Music' and said I'd never read another Tim Winton book again. So in 3 weeks I read 'Cloud Street' and loved it and re-read 'Dirt Music' and enjoyed it. I agree with my wife Shirley and ex English teacher that he writes good description and I now have read a few short stories; good too.And I have heard Tim interviewed on radio; he seems a bit unable to express his faith but does believe. Pleased that someone other than myself is writing something. Re the R.C. is all so conservative and complicated, how its organised and staffed. Last night a news service wanted a quote and head and shoulders shot of a priest saying something (about the Pope's health), and I noted that the young priest was an Asian. I happen to know that they are quietly bringing in priests from other countries. Plenty of RC people are doing theology, (I live near Yarra Theological College), but they are unsuitable being married, or who won't take the vows. The RC church doesn't need my criticism as they have the Jesuits and Hans Kung. And we should support first but there is a place for gentle correction, maybe firm correction if the first doesn't work. Geoff I've got my full membership of St. Johns -- watch out for me at the football, (and hinting that I should do 'duty' at a couple of coming concerts vis. Mark Knoffler, Bette Midler, Kylie, and Delta Goodrem on the belief that you don't get much unless you ask!) gary # posted by Anonymous @ 6:26 pm 0 comments
