MSC Magazine, Be on earth the Heart of God, Summer 2020

Abzalon and vegemite Copy

You’re right, that isn’t a photo of the cover of the Magazine (in fact, photo below; it is accessible on the Home Page of the site and under ‘Current News’ or link here; hard copies from Treand House, 1a Waltham St Coogee, 2034.

However, it seemed an eye-catching illustration for a story (not yet in the MSC Magazine);

 

MSC LEADERSHIP AND LOCAL INCULTURATION.

Our Superior General, Abzalon, has visited Australia, but here he is seen in an inculturating experience, eating Vegemite. It is a savory-tasting spread, long beloved by Australians from schoolhood days, popular on sandwiches. (Some Americans who have ventured on this inculturation have asked whether it is a medicine.)

For further information: from Wikipedia, where the subtitle is ‘Food’:

Vegemite (/ˈvɛdʒɪmaɪt/ VEJ-i-myte) is a thick, dark brown Australian food spread made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives. It was developed by Cyril Callister in Melbourne, Victoria in 1922.
