Episode 146 — Bushfires, Books, Baptism and Barenaked Worship (January 16, 2020)
The devastating bushfires that have ravaged many parts of Australia lead this month's episode. The Church and its agencies are working closely to support people and communities that have been affected. Listeners looking to offer support can donate via the St Vincent de Paul Society's website. The big story out of Rome is a new book on celibacy, which features the writings of Cardinal Robert Sarah and Pope Emeritus Benedict. Why's it so controversial? Listen to what the panel thinks. Don, James and Gavin also discuss infant Baptism, a debate over school funding in New Zealand and the "Come As You Are" approach of one US church. Thanks for listening and for your prayers and support.

New rugby club in Argentina helps kids with learning disabilities
https://cruxnow.com/church-in-the-americas/2020/01/new-rugby-club-in-argentina-helps-kids-with-learning-disabilities/
In 1982, Argentina's national rugby team went on a tour of South Africa and accomplished what at the time was unbelievable: They beat the Springboks on their home turf. As memorable as that victory was at the time, it left an imprint on thousands that goes beyond temporary glory: It led to the discovery that faith and sports can coexist and be used for the greater good. Upon their return to Argentina, the players decided that the mixing of their two passions, faith and rugby, shouldn't end there, and soon after, the Christian Movement of Rugby People was born...
