July 7th to 9th - a Meditiatio Seminar
In
a society that is increasingly dependent on legislation to define
its values and run its institutions, what is happening to justice?
How do we know what is the right thing to do? How do we handle
conflict with those who think differently from ourselves? How do we
deal with people who do wrong things? This Meditatio Seminar will
explore the spiritual dimension of justice revealed in all these
responses. At
The Meditatio Centre, St Marks, Myddelton
Square, London EC1E 1XX Cost: £50 per day or £80 for both days.
Includes lunch and refreshments. Financial assistance and bursaries
are available. Email meditatio@wccm.org
