I was not able to goto to the morling lecture but just wanted to say it is great to have people of your great ability and level teaching in OZ. Come back again asap and check out some other places and colleges in OZ Try N.T.C in Cleveland, QLD. I believe it to be one of the few 'Wesleyan' colleges in OZ, besides that Steve Irwins Australia Zoo is about 1 hour drive from it. Keep up the great posts. <BR/>PeaceCPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061614570571933329noreply@blogger.com
