It is called "Beyond literal belief- Religion as a metaphor” and is written by David Tacey. I attended his book launch and I know him casually. I’m sure you would enjoy the read. Tacey is Emeritus Professor of Literature at la Trobe University and he has written many books on spirituality, religion, youth and mental health, but this one represents his lifelong quest –dedicated to enable future generations to make more sense of religion than the generations before. You can get the book through Garratt Publishing. Best wishes. <br />Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-45575001834584413632015-06-04T03:01:49.616+10:002015-06-04T03:01:49.616+10:00I'm with Susan on this Lindsay.

But thank you all the same for what you bring to the world! <br /><br />Best to you in all other ways too - I probably see your daughter's life via Facebook more than we connect.

Fr Taylor has been instrumental in establishing a multitude of small communities, each with a secretary and chairperson who look out or the needy and are largely self sufficient , except on odd occasions. Around this model we help fund the infrastructure (mainly buildings ) to provide the community hub. The aim eventually, of course , is to be self sufficient. But a lot of very good work has happened and will continue - from a base of 30 years ago when there was nothing much at all <br />Best wishes Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-34471600924871069432015-05-30T12:33:01.293+10:002015-05-30T12:33:01.293+10:00While I'm sure you don't want to be congra...While I'm sure you don't want to be congratulated for your work with the Malawi Support Group, Lindsay, I can't help but let you know just how much I admire your work and belief in these children. I have looked at the blog page dedicated to the effort and the children are beautiful - as is Fr Taylor's deep commitment. <br />All the very bestsusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.com
