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."
USEFUL LINKS
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)
We continue in the new format

We have discussed the posibility of using our Meeting House to host FAN groups and as a hub for Ukrainians to get together. We have also discussed the posibility of taking up John Hargraves invitation to use Green Apple.
