Hi Teresa
I¡¯m not to sure how I do this but I want to register our Catholic Worker community as a sacred space on your site. I have enjoyed the course immensely esp. the first video. It¡¯s so important that we find ways to gather together to share our common humanity. Thanks for all of your ideas etc. sorry but I could not master the discussion format. I still don¡¯t know how to join the chat. But have followed the manual and videos closely.
Our group is the Manawatu Catholic Workers, and the address is: 316 Napier road, RD10, Palmerston North, NZ 4470
(As you will probably know the Catholic Worker movement was started in your country by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin )
Our group meets the defining characteristics for a S P. We are based around offering accommodation and hospitality, have a strong contemplative dimension and our meetings have an element of a listening circle. Our teaching is from the Gospel of the day and from All Saints by Robert Ellsberg. We have one main meeting every Friday, finishing with a pot luck meal. We also have a men¡¯s breakfast on Sunday mornings.
I have received emails from the charter for Compassion for some years so I think it¡¯s about time I register with them.
Thanks again
look forward to keeping in touch
