QCT is pleased to have been part of an unusual interfaith event just yesterday evening - see the first article below.
On a different note, the issue of investment is one that is often overlooked in considering what kind of witness our churches provide. What about the church superannuation funds many of us pay into, for example? This week we draw your attention to an initiative that focuses on where faith groups put their money.
You will see there is an opportunity to volunteer with the Romero Centre - please look into this possibility.
Volunteering is also relevant to QCT. We are wanting to find people who would enjoy working voluntarily as supporters of Christmas Bowl and other CWS programmes - and that could mean anything from the occasional mail-out to organizing a fundraising event. Any takers? We would love to hear from you.
We welcome any ideas you have for fundraisers for the Christmas Bowl: small or large, local or beyond - so please contact us if you have good ideas, especially ones you have tried before.
This week we have added one new resource to the website, in the form of the ABC's electronic bulletin advertizing its programmes on religion and ethics. You may wish to look up their website to gain an impression of what that is all about.
In this last week of the election campaign, may you be blessed with clarity of vision concerning the things that will really matter in this country in the coming three years and beyond.
Peace to you and yours
