About the event

A place for spiritual support and nurture and sharing of asylum/refugee/migration concerns. People can bring concerns, campaigns, difficulties, hope, news of local refugee families etc not in a formal setting with an agenda and notes, but more like worship sharing and very much in the spirit of supporting one another."

from Judy:

This is useful ( and tragic) information to refute the government's claim that the Australian approach  to asylum seekers is effective and should be copied here. I have read accounts of the horrendous conditions in the island prisons where they were hidden from oversight, and unable to escape.

Our next meeting is  on 4th April at 7.30pm (I have included LM clerks in this mail if they'd like to forward to their meetings)
