Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Both the content, and the way (especially the candles), was gracious and filled with Spirit.

You mentioned to those in attendance that you could send the excerpts/links you read. Would it be possible to get those? My email is bliss@allsoulscville.com.

Peace to you this Monday.

You have actually modelled what is most often the best way to pastorally engage with trauma...which,apart from lots of listening, is story telling. You also may not have known (and I am sure it is a work of the Spirit) how significant it is right now to listen to aboriginal voices. In two weeks we have a national referendum on creating a constitutionally enshrined indigenous ‘Voice to Parliament’. If this fails it will be yet another trauma, so these 5 candles are good and timely light.

I did not know, but yes that makes sense — I have been feeling such a strong push to pray. Thank you.

Hello Dr. Green. Thank you for this. I really appreciated the image of lighting the candles. It was a humble approach to a complex and fragmented reality.
