Today, the Synod began. I am staying at my aunt's home in Nuriootpa. Its very late. I just got in after a late session of Aboriginal Reconciliation rites.

Incidentally (as if it were relevant) Mike Semmler was elected next General President.

But the reason why I have fired up the computer this late at night is to say that after the speech by Dr Ishmael Noko (General Secretary of the LWF), P. lent across to me and said “I think I am a Roman Catholic”. This is the most positively that he has yet stated it. Later when I was talking to him, I said that I had rather thoughtlessly told Vernon that we had been to see John Fleming. P. said: “I don’t care who knows anymore.”
