Many thanks to Peter Shelby for this generous review!

@churchtimes.bsky.social

Thanks for the invitation @gracerethomas.bsky.social we’re really looking forward to being there and to sharing what Curating Spaces of Hope is about

We began as a side hustle - then, 10 years later, we launched an international search for hope, from a core institution shaping the public square in the UK

Great coverage of our new release by @scmpress.bsky.social this week. We’re still in the top 3 best sellers this month, 2 months after publication which is amazing!

Thank you for your diligence - please leave that with us…!

It was a genuine pleasure to be able to share something about 'brave spaces' at the conference. And it was great to hear so many other contributions and have such rich conversations

It was a great word wasn’t it - an old English contrast to despair - we learned about brave spaces from you! Thanks so much for your contributions @gracerethomas.bsky.social

Learned a new word today at the @spacesofhope.bsky.social conference:

Respair

Means 'fresh hope' or 'a recovery from despair'

Definitely one to hold on to

#Hope #Respair

Centre of Manchester, skyscraper in the foreground and background. In the middle is a modern white building, built on the site of Arkwright's first cotton mill

Me shaking hands with Pope Francis

Me and colleagues offering gifts from Manchester - I am handing the Holy Father a box with honey from the Manchester cathedral bees

Just spent time at the site of Arkwright's 1st cotton mill

2 yrs ago Pope Francis addressed a group I was part of. He reminded us Manchester was at the heart of changes brought by the industrial revolution, and could be at the heart of ecological change now

Words that rung loud in my ears today

Slither of ice full of gas bubbles which reveal what the atmosphere was like ten thousand years ago. Currently at a conference at the British Antarctica Survey in Cambridge

Just me holding a ten thousand year old slither of ice from Antarctica, full of tiny gas bubbles that reveal so much about the atmosphere back then.

Flawed by the incredible beauty and fragility of our planet

Our founder was privileged today to be at @bas.ac.uk reflecting on the scale of & responses to the climate crisis.

Q arising:

how far back do we need to go to understand the roots of the issue?

what kind of resources should we draw on to achieve spiritual and cultural change?

Such a timely initiative from @clubofrome.org
