A Ministry to Married Couples:
The Cross Roads, situated near the corner of George St and Redfern
St, is an Anglican ministry where Aboriginal Pastors minister to
Aboriginal People of the Redfern Waterloo Area. Pastor Bill Simons
and his wife Kaylene, and Pastor Ray Minniceon and his wife Sharon,
work from the Cross Roads.
Colin Davis and his wife Rita are the caretakers of Cross Roads,
and work with Bill and Ray.
Colin’s work is mainly with married couples, especially with
husbands. He uses a sketch of two dolphins, of a mum and baby together,
with Dad absent to illustrate his point.
Dad is absent because he doesn’t know :
- How to be a father
- How to be a husband
- How to be responsible
- How to accept 'NO' .
This is why Dad is not at home, because these 4 ingredients are
missing. Ingredients sounds like something you would use in a cake
mix; just as you can’t bake a cake with 4 main ingredients
missing, in the same way you can’t bake a man into a husband
with these 4 ingredients missing.
