Thanks for all who commented in the previous Blog. Good thoughts, all. I shall let you know what happens in the next few weeks.
But in the meantime, I know that some here in the US were asking about the Barnies building that I wrote about in “My Faith was Nurtured in this Building” and “To whom, then, should I return this Bulletin”.
It would appear that arson was not the reason it burnt down. Just electrics.
You can read about it in the Sydney Morning Herald HERE.
I turned those old lights on and off a few times. But , for the record, I wasn’t in Australia at the time of the incident….
Praying for Barnies.
See more of the Photos HERE.
Love, Justin.
PS Go the Socceroos…

Thanks for the link. I remember being there one Sunday night when the old circuit board caught fire during a service. (It was subsequently replaced.)
well that would have caused quite a buzz
I walked passed it the other day for the first time since it burned down...different feeling to just looking at a pic i must admit...
Chels --
How so?
Give us a description.

good question justin hehe
I dont really know...I think its a full impact type thing; more real.
It actually just reinforced how encouraging it is to know the congregation, and others around sydney, know the church is more than a building, cos when you are there it just shows how temporarl things in life can be, how easily something like a large building, that appears so solid and longlasting, can be destroyed so easily...i guess that sort of impact becomes more real when you walk passed a pile of ashes...
dont know if that makes any sense justin, but there u go...hehe
