Ministry in the military

So my article on Military in the Ministry is in this month’s Briefing, but unfortunately James and Sarah, the subjects of the article, didn’t get a photo to us in time to be included (Sarah thought all current ones were a bit daggy and out-of-date and was trying to get a new one). So, for old times’ sake I thought I would post a photo of the Fighting Words Conference in 2005. I am centre left in a bright green jumper. Immediately to my left is James and then Sarah. I have my arm around Jenny Nixon and Andrew (Nixon) is sitting on the ground with their youngest son (in the days before he got all funked up for the first ENGAGE conference ;) …). To my right is the strange legend that is Campo, the jet pilot, then next to him is Aimee and Pinghan. On the ground in front of them with their oldest son (now of four kids) in a striped beanie is Dan and Simone Godde, now also training with Defence Christians in Canberra, and my good friends Nick and Ange Rose are left of them. Michael Hanlon who heads up the whole thing is standing up on the play equipment, with slightly less hair than the others :). They were good days! (Note, this didn't really work, because the picture is so small, but if you go here and click the photo, you can see it in much larger format.)
