Peace Festival, which I received on the 20th June. One member of our Executive, Fidela Fouche, will be attending the Festival, and I have asked one of our new, younger members to attend as one of our representatives. She has not yet confirmed whether or not she can get time off on Friday the 28th, but as soon as I hear from her, I shall phone you. She will require accommodation. We should like to send the following message of support: " Black Sash, Natal Midlands Region, sends warm greetings and best wishes to the End Conscription Campaign Peace Festival of 1985. We deplore and condemn the militarisation of our society which is required to perpetuate apartheid, and which has led to conscripts being used to suppress grass­ roots civil and political dissent in the townships. We wish you success in your campaign to end conscription and to work towards peace and justice in South Africa." Any further correspondence should be addressed to our Secretary at the above address, as the post of Chairperson is a rotating one. Yours sincerely Ms P. Merrett Chairperson.

  • A Historical and Theological Investigation of the Grassroots Unity
    GRASSROOTS UNITY AND THE FOUNTAIN TRUST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES: A STUDY OF ECUMENISM IN THE CHARISMATIC RENEWAL by HO YAN AU A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion The University of Birmingham 10 November 2008 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis studies the nature of grassroots unity during the charismatic renewal of the 1970s and its significance for ecumenism. It argues that the renewal made an important contribution to ecumenism by means of complementarity of institution and charisms, and christology and pneumatology. It is based on the five international conferences of the Fountain Trust in the 1970s and focuses on two grassroots activities: worship in general and the celebration of the eucharist in particular. Worship in this setting nurtured unity through charisms, but the eucharist exposed the inadequacy of this grassroots unity because of doctrinal and ecclesiological differences. The thesis aims to suggest a way forward by searching for the complementarity of institution and charisms, and christology and pneumatology in a charismatic context.

    NJPN North West Justice & Peace E-Bulletin July 2019 The e-bulletin for the North West, linked to the National Justice and Peace Network (NJPN), is produced jointly by the dioceses of Lancaster, Liverpool, Salford, Shrewsbury and Wrexham. Please send diary dates to [email protected] VIEWPOINT: CATHOLIC BISHOPS AND THE ENVIRONMENT Mary Colwell 23 May 2019 (Updated 24 May 2019) Catholic filmmaker, broadcaster, environmentalist and journalist, Mary Colwell writes: This month the Catholic bishops of England and Wales produced a statement from their plenary (twice-yearly meeting) called 'Stewardship of God's Creation'. I thought I would give my thoughts on it as someone now deeply immersed in the world of conservation and the protection of life on earth. Of course, this statement is very welcome and I applaud the bishops for their commitment to produce a fuller one later in the year. It is, therefore, timely to add your voice to this issue. As the National Justice and Peace Commission you represent the initiatives of the bishops' conference and have to be involved. I trust the bishops and the newly formed environmental committee will consult you all. The first thing that struck me about this short statement is the tired phrase, Stewardship of Creation. Immediately it brings to mind a notion of hierarchy and management. The Cambridge English Dictionary give this definition of stewardship: Someone's stewardship of something is the way in which that person controls or organises it: ‘The company has been very successful while it has been under the stewardship of Mr White.’ The Oxford Dictionary is similar: The job of supervising or taking care of something, such as an organization or property: 'the funding and stewardship of the NHS' or 'responsible stewardship of our public lands.' In my opinion this is the wrong message delivered in the wrong language.
