GREETINGS
You have eyes--can't you see? (Mark 8:18)
Our well attended October Zoom meeting discussed the topic Learning How to See, an examination of several biases that can blind us to recognising reality or our commonality with “the Other”. Participants recounted instances where they had been discriminated against because of biases, and other instances where their own biases had blinded them. Conversation was thoughtful, wide ranging and engaging. Brian McLaren has an excellent series of podcasts we recommend to you as a way to recognising or uncovering your own, perhaps unconscious, biases.

Discernment: How do we make really important decisions in our lives? How do we discern what is best for us? Our next online meeting will review how we can do so.

Do you realise that our website has a very good search function? Enter key words into the search box in the menu bar and find articles and information stored in our archives. As we add new material this function will become increasingly useful.
Our website is constantly changing with new information. Bookmark our website in your browser and visit us to keep in touch.
The development of our community has been built so far on a Catholic/Christian foundation; however, we acknowledge religion is not the only path to spiritual growth. We welcome suitable material from other viewpoints, you can contact us through the website or by email.
FUNDRAISING

We have to spend funds to access the resources we provide you and the things we can’t do ourselves such as computer related stuff. We rely on the generosity of individuals like you to defray these inevitable costs of our volunteer work. Your donation will enable us to reach more people and make a difference in their lives.
We very much appreciate the donations we have already received.
