Preparation well underway!
After an incredibly life-giving and privileged 3 years as Pastoral Care Officer at Matthew Talbot Hostel, a large men's homeless hostel in Sydney and for 4 years, as Chaplain at MRRC, Silverwater, a remand jail for 1000 men awaiting trial or sentencing, I am taking a 4 month sabbatical for rest, renewal and reorientation. After taking a few days for final preparations, the Sabatical commences with the AECSD Conference in Canberra- Spirutal DIrection in the Borderlands before heading to the USA and the UK during which time I will visit examples of spiritual accompaniment in the margins, explore some labyrinths, indulge in some creative pursuits and connect with family, friends and women of The Grail.
