Reflections on the Crucifixion
Written on Easter Saturday, March 26, 2016
The Tavern has been closed since three of the clock yesterday. I have been with others in the Crypt, as His body was in His Crypt. And I am reflecting on what happened. I am grateful to James H and to Dr Davis for a better understanding of the physical. Many have seen the film 'The Passion of the Christ'. The actor playing Christ did a brilliant job. Jim Caviezel. He too adds to our understanding. But the 'visual', just as the Gospel accounts needs contemplation and we do that with words in our heads. So I hand some over to you. What continues is Heavy Reading.

Dear Gina, You're Helping Women Kill Their Babies
Buzzfeed's Gina Rushton recently published an article which attempted to discredit the work of pro-lifers in Perth. [Click here to read the article]. As well as providing the entertainment value that pro-aborts derive from mocking the pro-life community, the article added fuel to the fire of those pushing for exclusion-zones. As covered in other articles on this site, eg this one, there is a global movement by abortion providers to try to shut down prayerful witness outside abortion facilities. Without exception, this movement relies on a false premise for its momentum: the lie that pro-lifers 'harass' and 'intimidate' women. An integral part of this lie is the idea that pro-lifers tell nothing but falsehoods, while abortion providers tell nothing but the truth. And the media plays a very large part in promulgating these lies.

Sixty-Six Steps to Assisted Dying
We think that this model, which we acknowledge is the most conservative model for assisted dying in the world, is the right model for Victoria (Professor Brian Owler)
Claiming a world’s best regulatory document inevitably recalls Bob Carr’s comment in the course of the debate on an Australian bill of rights. Carr commented that, on reading, the world’s most impressive charter of rights came from the USSR in the mid 1930s. Recently, the difference between regulation and practice in banking and irrigation has made news. It’s all about compliance. How well will the 66 recommendations in the world’s most conservative model for assisted suicide accomplish compliance? This paper will briefly consider some of the recommendations, especially in the context of other regulatory systems.

5 Chilling Examples of Euthanasia's Slippery Slope
"I am going to die anyway. I am not being involuntarily euthanized. My nearest and dearest sympathize with my decision. I have tried very hard to beat the disease, but I have had enough and want - quite literally in my case - to go and meet my maker."
Rev. John Cartwright
Assisted Dying: Who Makes the Final Decision?
These words were written by philosopher and Congregational minister, John Cartwright. He is also a member of the Inter-Faith Leaders for Dignity in Dying. John Cartwright's outlook is shared by many people who want to see euthanasia and assisted suicide legalised, and who are convinced that the so-called 'slippery slope' poses no danger to such legislation, because stringent safeguards will be written into the laws.
