Yes. Times have changed so one must move with such change and this can be both difficult and challenging. One such recent adjustment was the recent development with my friend Rolf Furuli who had sent me a personal copy of his book on our beloved Religion and the governing body which was a most interesting read. Further, here in Australia we are in the news with CSA in relation to the Redress scheme so we live in very interesting times alongside the current pandemic.

My heart goes out to
brothers such as yourself and Rolf Furuli. You guys have both the ability and most
importantly the courage to defend your beliefs, especially in hostile arenas. I
think the Australian Royal Commission revealed the current GB are lacking in
both for some reason. Maybe this is leading to frustration and as a consequence
cruelty in how they are dealing with many difficult situations. I really hope Rolf has
a good support network to help him through what must be a very difficult time. I
fear they will do everything to tarnish his good name.
It is often said that courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
Whatever else people may accuse brothers like yourself or Rolf of, they can’t accuse you of lacking in courage.
