SUMMARY:Stephanie McCarthy presents Tom Price 1852-1909
DESCRIPTION:Stephanie McCarthy is a South Australian author who has been writing books\, screenplay\, television\, and plays for stage and radio for 35 years\, winning major awards especially for her radio dramas produced by the BBC and the ABC. She has been a book reviewer and is a teacher of both adults and children\, conducting workshops and inspirational speeches on the subject of creative writing\, and more recently on the subject of TOM PRICE – from Stonecutter to Premier. A script editor for the Australian Writers’ Guild\, Stephanie has been employed as script assessor for the South Australian Film Corporation and the Australia Council. Her published works include teenage novels Diary Z and Red\, the biography of a country GP Bloody Marvellous!\, an adult novel Erogeny\, and the gift book series Mad Cars Disease which sells Australia wide. \nThe biography of Tom Price led Stephanie down an eight year path of solid research beginning in North East Wales and Liverpool\, culminating in South Australia. Unexpected ‘treasures’ surfaced throughout the journey. Historians from Adelaide\, Wales and even Cornwall have pitched in to share their knowledge and to check Stephanie from indulging in any flights of fictional fancy. Notwithstanding\, she remained determined to ensure that Tom the man springs fresh and relevant from the page as if he were living amongst us today.

SUMMARY:Australian and African Commonwealth Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Bishop Michael Musale serves as the General Overseer of Christ Victory Gospel Ministries\, and President of Victory Christian School\, both located in Turbo\, Kenya. Michael was born and raised in Nairobi in the era when Britain was gradually relinquishing responsibility for a number of African nations\, including Kenya \nHence he was privileged to be one of the first African children to study at the prestigious Prince of Wales School in Nairobi. From there he gained a tertiary qualification and taught high school science for several years before going into full time Christian ministry. His wife Emily has also spent many years in school teaching. Together they have three adult children. \nIn Africa the term “Bishop” often means an overseeing minister\, and that is the case with Michael Musale\, as he supervises five congregations and mentors pastors and other leaders in Kenya and beyond. In 2013 he opened a school that provides free education to poor children in his area of Kenya\, who would otherwise be denied a good quality learning experience. The school commenced as a result of sponsorship gained in Adelaide and Perth\, following a well received speaking tour. Bishop Musale encouraged many groups and churches to consider the nation-building vocation that is a forgotten foundational aspiration enunciated by Governor Arthur Phillip\, in 1788\, at the commencement of modern Australia.
