It will be no surprise that I have found nothing that captures the gravity and mystery of that moment, or even comes near the Photo: CAS expectations of my imagination of what that gospel scene may have looked like. I have seen some wonderful paintings recorded in art books and on the web. I have looked at oils, water-colours and Visitors farewelled crayons, even at scenes constructed in soft light by world renowned photographers as they tried to seize that sacred second when Christ Father Bill Christy (L), Peninsula Parish Priest, farewells Fr breathed anew and humanity was saved. However, each image seemed Kevin Matthews (centre) from Port Pirie Diocese in SA and incomplete as the magnitude of what it proclaimed could never be volunteer worker, Glen Groves (R), from Sydney. contained or captured within the physical limits of a piece of art. I have examined many memorable renditions of the crucifixion of Christ found in the great galleries of the world. They evoke an appreciation of Jesus as the one who has given everything, even unto death, for a sinful world. I am convinced of the authenticity of the rigours of the scourging at the pillar and the crowning with thorns portrayed in great works by the masters, and in modern films by directors such as Mel Gibson in his The Passion of the Christ. I remember flinching through gruesome scene after scene of the Passion in a city cinema and looking forward to the resurrection ‘finale’, wondering then how it might look from Gibson’s perspective. Cleverly he avoided it. Well, almost. Bandages lay abandoned on the cold stone slab and an eerie light beckoned us to appreciate that something super-significant had happened. It was as close to the real thing that Gibson dared venture. I don’t blame him. I am sure he knew we would all feel severely disappointed with any attempted celluloid portrayal of such a mystery. No artist can recreate the magnificence of the resurrection so as to do it justice. Similarly, the theologians simply haven’t the words to craft an explanation of the resurrection of Christ that satisfies us, nor can they explore in their conjectures the details of this profound occurrence; one that so changed humanity and humanity’s relationship Photo: CAS with God. And neither can any of us with the most fertile of imaginations ensnare for a moment the full meaning of this mystery. Easter, it would seem, is nothing less than pure faith. It is a time for the true believers. “Blessed are those who do not see and yet believe.” Award What a superb gift to us is faith. Our faith compels us to believe in the risen Christ, one who winner demands that we love as he loved. “This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you.” He now awaits our response to his Emma Sibosado has won the supreme gift of love.

There isn’t much to film directing, says the costume designer Lillian (Judi Dench) to a dispirited Guido (Daniel Day- Lewis), he just has to say yes or no to a series of questions everyday. As we all know, as does Lillian, that is an oversimplification, but she is trying to jolt Guido into creative action by some gentle mockery. It’s one of the jocular moments in an otherwise serious work examining a creative man in absolute crisis. And not just with his work. There’s his wife, his mistress, his producer….. and his leading lady. All of which cloud his judgement & hamper his creativity. “EDEN IS WEST” (M) Sub Titled. France/Greece. Dir: Costa Garvas.

  • Jimmy Chi: Hybridity and Healing
    Jimmy Chi: Hybridity and Healing Introduction Jimmy Chi is the scion of a well-known and respected Broome family, a family whose fortunes fluctuated with the vicissitudes of Broome‟s history. Jimmy Chi‟s Chinese grandfather, John Chi, was a successful pearler who had arrived in Australia as a cabin boy around 1872; his Japanese grandmother, Yaie John Chi, was a businesswoman who operated a long soup shop and boarding house. His Scottish grandfather was a pastoralist, his Aboriginal grandmother a traditional Baad woman who witnessed the arrival of the Europeans in the Kimberley. His father, James Minero Chi, owned various businesses in Broome including a successful taxi service and the first postal service along the corrugated pindan road to Beagle Bay and Cape Leveque. His mother, Lily, was a member of the Stolen Generations who was raised in the Beagle Bay mission and in Broome by the St John of God nuns. As a young woman she worked as a domestic for the manager of the Bank of N.S.W. Being a devout Catholic she worked for the Catholic Church throughout her life, starting up the Bishop Raible Co-op, now the Op Shop, with her friend Rosie Lee, getting „the money together by making cakes, and cooking at the races and other things‟ (Chi, J. 2005, pers. comm., May 24). James Minero Chi Photo by Melissa McCord, in Chenery (n.d.) These intrepid individuals are among the founders of present day Broome. Their life stories personalise the facts of history. The extended Chi family exemplify the innovative attitude of people on the frontier who were prepared to take risks and embrace challenge.
