Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our  fourteenth episode explores the allure of France has often inspired historical novelists to conjure the romance and tumult of its history. Kate Forsyth’s latest novel, The Blue Rose, transports the reader to the perils of the French Revolution and the exotic world of Imperial China. Natasha Lester’s The French Photographer deals with more recent history of World War II France and America. Jackie Ballantyne discusses why Kate and Natasha were drawn to set their books in France, and how they discovered new stories to tell about a country that continues to fascinate.

“In my second sermon here—way back in September of 2018—I preached about my two pet turtles, the Song of Songs, and love. It was a pretty good sermon. I re-read that sermon a few weeks ago, because I wanted to know if anything had changed. I wanted to know much these two years of ministry alongside you had changed what I thought, had changed who I was. Not very much, it turns out. And unimaginably.”

“I have to say, after six months of a global pandemic, I'm in better physical shape than I've been in the last decade. Like many people, I’ve been working from home on a fairly strange schedule. For most of the spring, I'd usually get up around 6:30 in the morning, drink a cup of coffee and answer emails or work on my laptop until around 8:30, then spend a couple of hours with Murray while Alice was in class. We spent the rainy month of April trading off between wandering around outside and logging on to Zoom. With libraries, coffee shops, and playgrounds closed, going for a run together was one of the few leisure activities we had left, other than playing with the grass clippings outside the Harvard observatory. And so Alice, Murray, and I spent most of the spring running from place to place with our stroller, discovering that a two-year-old makes an inspiring, albeit rude, track coach: “I want you to run faster!” “

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our twelfth episode explores History and Mystery: weaving a web of truth and lies in detective fiction.  Writing historical crime fiction is like a treasure hunt for authors who dig up nuggets from the past to recreate old crimes and mysteries, both real and imaginary. How do authors lay down clues to keep readers (and the central characters) guessing whodunit? How do you balance the interlacing stories of detective, murderer and victim? What sources do authors use to set the scene and solve the crime using old-fashioned methods of crime detection? Felicity Pulman tracks down the answers to these questions and more with Malla Nunn, Katherine Kovacic and Tessa Lunney.

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our eleventh episode explores the silver screen: scriptwriting and adaptations.  More and more historical novels are being adapted for screen with lavish production values and high profile stars. What is the secret to writing scripts compared to books? How do scriptwriters condense intricate plots into a few hours screen time while maintaining complexity of characters and themes? What elements are producers searching for when considering a story? And are compromises needed when wooing an audience compared to a readership? Jesse Blackadder, Malla Nunn and Mira Robertson discuss with Kelly Gardiner the different approaches required when writing novels, adaptations and screenplays.

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our tenth episode explores Parramatta, the second penal settlement established in Australia. When Thomas Keneally and Meg Keneally decided to set their Monsarratt detective series there, Meg sought the assistance of local historian, Gay Hendrikson, to dig into the township’s history. Gillian Polack learns how Meg and Gay formed a working relationship to trace the footsteps of the Keneallys’ characters, locate potential murder sites, and pore over history together, and how their collaboration extended to Meg’s first solo novel Fled.

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our ninth episode explores the survival of the fittest: challenging interior and exterior landscapes.  A stark Australian landscape is both menacing and beautiful in Rachel Leary’s Bridget Crack with a protagonist who must overcome physical and psychological threats. David Whish-Wilson’s  The Coves explores the brutality of Australian renegades in the unlawful streets of 19th century San Francisco while Stephanie Parkyn’s Into the World forces her heroine to face ocean hazards while striving to protect a dangerous personal secret. Lisa Chaplin explores these authors’ sources of inspiration, and what it takes to create characters who battle internal fears in a fight for survival against nature and man.

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our eighth episode explores Regency madness and inspiration.  The Regency period lasted a mere nine years while Prince Regent George ruled as his temporarily mad father’s proxy. The glamour and charm of the era has lasted far longer with a plethora of novels set in in those times first made popular by Georgette Heyer in the 1920s. Alison Goodman, Anne Gracie and Anna Campbell chat with Elizabeth Jane Corbett about their inspirational sources, their own passion for the period, and how they have played with the tradition of Regency romance.

“Many people find comfort in the ideas of a divine plan or of the prosperity gospel. It’s comforting for many people to imagine that God must have a plan for everything. It’s comforting for many people to imagine that if they just stay strong and keep their faith, everything will be okay. It’s comforting, at least, until someone else uses these ideas to try to wipe away your pain. Hence the bittersweet title of Kate Bowler’s book: ‘Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I’ve Loved.’”

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our seventh episode is a personal history session: In conversation with Nicole Alexander and Ella Carey.  Nicole Alexander writes sweeping epics evoking the grandeur of Australian landscapes, the hardships of rural life, and the turmoil of historic events. Ella Carey introduces her readers to the quiet interconnections through parallel narratives of women living in modern and past times. Both authors draw on the personal to weave tales into a wider historical context. Irina Dunn asks these authors about their writing journeys, the inspiration for their books, and why they draw upon family legend.  

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our sixth episode talks of Bette and Joan.  Elizabeth I and Joan of Arc have been the subjects of countless books, engendering myth, obsession, and various interpretations of their lives. Linda Funnell asks Jane Caro and Ali Alizadeh why they chose to investigate the stories of these famous women, and how they bring fresh perspective to their histories.  

“Like every founding myth, in other words, Hamilton tells us at least as much about how we imagine ourselves today as it does about what happened years ago. And so I find it completely delightful that this bizarre tale from Genesis is how the Bible tells the story of the founding of the people of God. Because the moment when Jacob wrestles with God is like the Bible’s equivalent of the Declaration of Independence: it’s one of a handful of turning points in the relationship between God and humankind.“

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our fifth episode explores The Feminine Mystique.  Ensuring a female protagonist’s thoughts and actions remain true to the norms of by-gone eras and cultures causes headaches for writers – and readers. How does an author maintain immediacy if limited to second hand observations of male dominated history? Should women of the past be depicted with more power and influence than would have been afforded to them? And how do you treat a young heroine in an age where girls were restricted, and children expected to be ‘seen and not heard’? Sophie Masson  examined how to portray plausible female protagonists with Juliet Marillier, Elizabeth Jane Corbett and Kirsty Murray.

“Back in late February and the first week of March, as we all made a few last trips to the grocery store, people stocked up on what they imagined to be the essentials. Some people filled their broom closets with toilet paper. I bought about 300 diapers. And all across America, yeast and flour disappeared from the grocery-store shelves.”

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our fourth episode explores parallel narratives.  Interlocking stories crossing different eras have been used to great effect in historical novels. What plot devices do authors use to trace the connections between their characters? Do writers use the same techniques as in historical mysteries? And how do they balance the competing voices that must be heard in order for revelation to be achieved? Tea Cooper (https://hnsa.org.au/tea-cooper/) , Emily Madden (https://hnsa.org.au/emily-madden/) , Carla Caruso (https://hnsa.org.au/carla-caruso/) discuss with Diane Murray (https://hnsa.org.au/diane-murray/) the challenges of intertwining lives around historical eras.

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our third episode explores point of view.  When starting to write, deciding which type of point of view will be exploited is a significant decision with far-reaching consequences. Who knows what? Who sees what? How much do you want the reader to know?  And when? Once the decisions are made, they can be both liberating and confining. Greg Johnston explores ‘the slings and arrows’ of point of view with Robyn Cadwallader, Julian Leatherdale and Belinda Castles.

“Well, you have never seen such pathetic vegetables in your life. Tiny lettuce plants shriveled up even smaller than the seedlings we’d bought from the store. Bulbous zucchini two inches long and covered in tiny squirrel chew-marks. The only things that really grew well were the herbs, and that just meant I was trying to add mint to everything until Alice finally got sick of it sometime in mid-July. But the tomatoes were a different story.”

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our second episode explores Creative writing postgraduate degrees which have become increasingly popular in the last decade. Associate Professor Sara Knox (WSU) talks to Dr Jesse Blackadder, Dr Rachel le Rossignol and PhD candidate, Joshua Mostafa, about the benefits of combining the process of completing a novel with a deeper examination of the genre’s purpose, themes, and interpretation of research. Full details of the speakers are available in our News & Interviews tab on our website.

Welcome to the World news. World news keeps you updated news around the nations. Today's topic is "Manta5 Unveils First E-Bike for the Water" A company in New Zealand has developed an electric bicycle that can be used on water — the Manta5 Hydrofoil e-bike. Manta5 describes its invention as half-bike and half-plane. The company says riding one feels like normal cycling, but on the water. It uses a battery, motor and underwater wings — which are called "foils" — to move across water at speeds of up to 20 kilometers an hour. The bikes are made to be strong, but still light enough to carry. Manta5 was started in early 2011 by Guy Howard-Willis and Roland Alonzo, both passionate cyclists. Howard-Willis had wanted there to be more options for would-be water cyclists, and when he met Alonzo, decided to try and make that happen. It took the company eight years to develop the bike, but it was able to show a prototype in 2017. The company says that a short video of that first bike got 350 million views on Facebook. The first bikes that Manta5 produced sold out in six months. It says that riders in New Zealand are already fans, and are using them to ride across lakes, rivers and ocean waves. Manta5 now hopes the bikes will become popular in the US as well. At $8,990, however, they certainly aren't cheap. CEO Greg Johnston says that learning to ride the water bike is like cycling for the first time: you might have to try a few times, but it's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. The company even believes that in the near future, biking across the water could be a sport, and even be included in the Olympics.

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our first episode explores Dispossession and Betrayal: Recovering the Erased history of First Nations. Indigenous writers, Madison Shakespeare and Lisa Chaplin, discuss with Maori writer and academic, Dr Paula Morris, why Aboriginal history has been suppressed, what is needed to remedy the omission, and how historical fiction can play a role in ensuring past injustices and cruelties aren’t forgotten or repeated. Full details of the speakers are available in our News & Interviews tab on our website.

“God had promised that Abraham would be the ancestor of many nations—and indeed, in some ways he’s become the spiritual ancestor of all the Abrahamic traditions, of all Jews and Christians and Muslims, four billion of us in the world today. And yet at this point in the story, that great lineage hangs by a thread. Abraham nearly kills his own son, nearly cutting off God’s promise to create a great people, nearly ending the story of the great love affair between God and the people of God before it’s really begun.”

“Today is Trinity Sunday, the Sunday after Pentecost, when good preachers give bad sermons and bad preachers give you a blow-by-blow of Athanasian Creed. For my part, I’m stuck this week on the words of the Second Council of Constantinople in 553: ‘One of the Trinity was crucified in the flesh.’ In other words, to believe in the Holy Trinity—to say that Jesus is God—is to say that when Jesus of Nazareth suffered and died on the Cross, God suffered and died on the cross. And so it is that ‘theologically speaking,’ as the great American theologian James Cone writes in his final work, The Cross and the Lynching Tree, ‘Jesus was the “first lynchee.”’”

“The Epicurean gods are absent and quiet, and you should be too. The Stoic God is present, but loveless, and you should be too. And then here comes Paul crashing into the Roman world with a message about a very different kind of God. For Paul and for most other Jews, God was not the petty and capricious superhuman of Greek folk religion, nor was God the indifferent-but-happy Creator of the Epicureans or the universal Mind of the Stoics. God comes to us in the world, but God is not of the world. God interacts with us, but God doesn’t act like us.“

“We are, all of us, ‘walking through the valley of the shadow of death’; not just now, but always, every day of our human lives. It’s a beautiful image for a grim situation. Imagine a flock of sheep wandering through the Judean countryside. These aren’t the happy green hills like the Emerald Isle or your old Windows XP background, but the dry and rocky hills east of Jerusalem, where the mountains roll down to the Jordan River and the Dead Sea. Picture the flock walking down into a deep valley, a dry river-bed, in the late afternoon, as it suddenly becomes dusk.”

“On this second Sunday of Easter, when we read the story of ‘Doubting Thomas,’ preachers will talk about what faith really means, why doubt is really important, or maybe—depending on how far afield they want to go—what this whole resurrection thing is really about anyway. This year, though, this story of Thomas and the other disciples feels more immediate to me. The reasons it feels relevant and interesting in other years are abstract and cognitive. This year is different. If in other years, I can identify with how Thomas thinks, this year I have a very real sense of solidarity with how the disciples feel, how they worship, what they do as they gather behind locked doors.”

“Tonight, we celebrate the end of the forty days of dreary fasting and rejoice at the good news of Jesus’ resurrection. And then Monday morning, we’ll wake up for yet another week of rainy, isolated walks with no end in sight. So this year, nothing’s going to change on Easter Day in any sense that really matters to our everyday lives. But then again, this has always been the case.”

“If I had to guess at the ten happiest moments in my mother’s life, they’d probably include the days her two children were born, the days we got married, the days each of her three grandchildren were born, and the day that I learned to clip my own toenails.”

This week we're going back to June 13th, 2019 to bring another classic episode. Greg Johnston, at the time the head coach for the Collingwood Colts Junior "A" Team, joins Andy and Paul to chat about his career and the Colts. Then we have another Clarkives talking about the St. Louis Blues and Grant Fuhr. We also talk about some art received to our Hockey Talk Email address.

“Every time you come to this website and join in this virtual worship, a new sinew connects you to the rest of us. Every time you phone a church friend to see how they’re doing, a new tendon stretches out between the two of you. Every time you log on to Zoom for Bible Study or Teen Formation or Crafternoon, you’re adding flesh and skin to the Body of Christ.”

“I don’t know what you’re feeling right now. Confusion, or fear? Anxiety, or panic? Whatever you’re feeling, God is right there with you. If you can’t ‘shout for joy to the Rock of [your] salvation’ right now, then wail in lament and growl in frustration. If you can’t ‘come before [God’s] presence with thanksgiving,’ then ‘raise a loud shout’ of fear and anxiety. Trust me, there are plenty of psalms for that.”

“Guilt, at its best, opens us up. It leads us outside ourselves and turns us toward reconciliation with someone else. Someone who never feels guilt is either Jesus or a sociopath; either they’ve never done anything wrong, or they’ve never felt any remorse for it. Shame, on the other hand, is never healthy. If guilt is the feeling that you’ve done something wrong, shame is the feeling that you are wrong. That you’re not good enough. You’re not strong enough or pretty enough or brave enough, rich enough or tall enough or smart enough. Where guilt leads us to turn out toward another person for forgiveness, shame leads us to turn into ourselves for concealment.”

“Like ten-year-olds, we hustle to set up our tents. We lie back down again on the porch and look at the stars, praying for wonder to strike. We go to the museum or the chalkboard again and stare, waiting for the aha moment to come. We look at our children and our spouses and our parents and we feel…other feelings, mixed with overwhelming joy and love. But these moments where we once found holiness, these moments where we saw the light of God shining forth, were never the places to pitch our tents, never the places for the Holy One to dwell.”

“So we pray for ‘pure and clean hearts.’ We ‘await the day of his coming.’ But do we really want to be melted by the refiner’s fire? Do we really want to be scoured with the fuller’s soap? Do we really want the sleeping god to awake and hear our prayers?”

“‘He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.’ It just wouldn’t have the same ring to it if it was a pigeon flapping over to sit on his head. It was, of course, a pigeon. Pigeons and doves, are, after all, members of the same family. The species we call the ‘common pigeon’ is the same as the ‘rock dove.’ It’s just that, in our culture, we think of pigeons as being kind of grimy. Uncouth. ‘Flying rats.’ But doves! Oh, doves! So beautiful, so intelligent! …I say all this because I think we often look at our lives and see pigeons where we ought to see doves. We feel the Spirit of God whooshing towards us and we cower and run, covering our heads with our handbags and ducking under an awning.”

“When we finally turned out the lights and went to bed, I discovered that there were glow-in-the-dark stars stuck all over their ceiling. I’d never noticed them all afternoon, but they’d been slowly getting charged up by the light around them, and now they were shining. Of course, I guess they’d been glowing all along. You just couldn’t notice it because of the bright lights, so it was only in the darkness that I’d realized they were there. The message, this first Sunday after Christmas, is simple: we are, all of us, glow-in-the-dark stars.”

Recorded 14 December 2019We knew this was going to be interesting, but it turned out to be very informative and fun.With the advent of soft wings for the next Americas Cup, we chat to Greg Johnston from Advance Wing Systems - creator of the Semi Rigid Wing, so we can understand the concept, how it works, what its advantages are and what is happening in the AC, what the rule says and how that changes the game and from that, we work out some of the key critical factors that will decide who will win races.We also chat Moth Worlds, SailGP, Youth AC, Star Sailors League and hunt for our new Test Rig!!#starsailorsleague #barkarate #mothworlds #advancedwingsystems #semirigidwingsystem #Americascup #youthamericascup #testrig

“The Bible is not just one self-contained episode after another. It’s a huge narrative arc, told in different genres and languages across a millennium, a library of a thousand little stories that together tell one big story. And in Jesus, Paul claims in today’s reading from the letter to the Romans, God is writing us into the story.”

“The feast of Christ the King was established at a time when authoritarian regimes were on the rise and more and more people were accepting the idea that a strongman wielding violence and technology could bend morality and truth to his will. When we claim that Christ is King, we are claiming that even the most savvy dictator cannot define the truth; that the most powerful forces of this world, ‘whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities,’ are not the highest power; that however turbulent our times may be, the domain of darkness will never triumph over the kingdom of God.“

“A few years ago I served at a church with a weekly free community dinner. These dinners really brought the community together: we had suburban churches and synagogues serving food, we had our parishioners helping set up and clean up, and some of the folks who came regularly to dinner on Tuesdays also started attending worship on Sundays. And hanging on a banner above the doors into the parish hall were the Biblical words from today’s reading that had inspired it all: ‘Anyone unwilling to work should not eat.’ …NOT.”

Jonathan talks with SA's very own Ps Greg Johnston. In this episode Ps Greg shares openly about his journey, reading the word of God and his passion for photography.

“In the race of life, we are all running together as one team in pursuit of one crown of victory. When we think about the communion of saints, when we think about the exemplars of Christian life, we often focus on the top one or two finishers in the field. But the shape of the race, our success or failure as a team, is determined as much by the slower runners in the middle and the back of the pack as it is by Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King kicking down the home straight for the win.“ Greg preaches on the twentieth Sunday after Pentecost. Lectionary Readings: Joel 2:23-32; Psalm 65; 2 Timothy 4:6-8,16-18; Luke 18:9-14

#45 Greg Johnston - Always Moving Forwards Greg talks to us about how no matter what, you need to always move forwards.  We talk about:  A decision they made to ensure that Evie's life has a positive impact on the world. Stopping and reflecting on how much you have achieved. Having compassion for yourself and others; you don't know what they are going through. And the amazing impact Team Evie has had on the lives of thousands of children and families.  Greg was a primary school teacher in Cumbria, until the birth of his first daughter Evie. Evie was born with multiple serious cardiac, respiratory and digestive problems and after 6 months spent mainly in the RVI she sadly passed away. Greg, and his wife Jill, created the charity ‘Team Evie' to ensure that Evie had a positive impact on the world, and to help families who face similar challenges to those they faced along with Evie. Greg now works full time as Chief Executive of the charity, which over the 4 years since Evie died has raised over £300,000 and helped 1000s of sick children and their families in the North East and Cumbria.

“I don’t know whether the fact that the rich man knows Lazarus’s name should be the last nail in the coffin of his condemnation or the first sign of a possible transformation. I don’t know that the rich man, simply by knowing Lazarus’s name, would ever have grown to care for him in that way that he should. But I do know that if he never saw Lazarus’s wounds, never heard his growling stomach, never got proximate enough to know his name—he would never have grown to care for him at all.” Greg preaches on the parable of Lazarus and the rich man on the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost. Lectionary Readings: Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15; Psalm 91:1-6, 14-16; 1 Timothy 6:6-19; Luke 16:19-31

“The image of the Good Shepherd is a nice one, but it turns out that not all lost sheep want to be found. It seems nice in theory to be found; but in reality nobody wants to be found out. Nobody wants to have their deepest secrets and their most hidden thoughts discovered. Nobody wants to be exposed for who they really are. God, of course, has always already found us out. And yet God’s response is not the destruction promised in Jeremiah, but the joy revealed in Jesus.” Greg preaches on the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin.Lectionary Readings: Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28Psalm 141 Timothy 1:12-17Luke 15:1-10

“Idolatry isn’t as hot a topic for us today as it was in Jeremiah’s time. I doubt that very many of us in this room have been tempted more than once a twice, for example, to sacrifice a bull before a statue of the god Baal. But the problem with idolatry isn’t really a problem of how you worship; it’s a problem of what you worship, what it is that you consider to be most worthy. And in that sense, I do think that there are idols that we worship in our society today.” Greg preaches on Labor Day weekend on the twelfth Sunday after Pentecost. Lectionary Readings: Jeremiah 2:4-13; Psalm 81:1, 10-16; Luke 14:1, 7-14

“Asteroid 2019 OK passed us by without leaving a mark, and we’re all here today to tell the tale. But it does sharpen the point of today’s parable: This very night our lives could be demanded of us, and the things we have prepared won’t be ours anymore. When an asteroid comes and crashes into the earth, it doesn’t matter if you’re rich in possessions. What you really need is to be ‘rich toward God.’ So then—what does it mean to be rich toward God?” Greg preaches on the eighth Sunday after Pentecost. Lectionary Readings: Hosea 11:1-11; Psalm 107:1-9, 43; Luke 12:13-21
