“I am not troubled as there are much other transitional changes happening which forebode a better future“.
Next month, I am resigning as President of the Sea of Faith in Australia. Last year I left the work of the Free Thinker Institute (New York). I will be continuing my post productions, but the “spare time” will be invested into book manuscript writing.
I am making a decision on whether I fly to Athens on the day before the ISCHE 47 deadline (8 May). The campaign is for both a book publication and the off-screen attendance to the conference. If the latter does not happen, the former (the book) will happen. I have a track record on book publications at this level.
Currently, it is unlikely that that the first part (conference) will happen. Only $225 raised of the $2.8K target has been raised. I thank the three donors to the campaign but the campaign continues to support me in this time of book manuscript writing. Acknowledgments of donations will be made in the book.

Without institutional funding, your contribution is the only way this unique Australian voice will reach the historic cradle of Western philosophy.
