Cityboy is a brilliantly gritty account of life in London's financial heartland - The Square Mile. Author Geraint Anderson breaks the city's code of silence to uncover its dark and sorded secrets. With insider trading, drug taking, gambling and recklessness abound it is a wonder that any trading gets done. However, Geraint is proof that the dog-eat-dog culture of looking out for number one does yield results - he retired at only 35 years old after amassing a fortune. The book, which was originally an anonymous column in a city newspaper looks set to go to film in the near... Full review »

Wesley Mission has been involved in education for well over a century. Indeed, at one point all the Methodist ministers in this state had been educated at the Mission's Evangelists' Training Institute. In due course, the Methodist Church - and then the Uniting Church - devised its own form of education. The Mission remained involved in education, such as through its International Christian Leadership College, whereby young people came from overseas to learn about the Mission's work...

  What Binds Humanity Together?   What should global citizenship mean for Australians today?   How can we act together to advance our common humanity? In July 2008 Barack Obama, speaking to hundreds of thousands of people in Berlin about American ties to Europe, declared that "the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together".

Some of their experiences are reviewed in a recent edited book *. This forum will feature three prominent... Full article »
