Bridgebuilders

 Bridgebuilders meet as a small group in cafés for breakfast where we talk about our everyday concerns and have a discussion centred around a topic, followed by a time of simple worship at the end of our meeting. We finish with planning for what activities we will become involved in over the next month and decide on a topic and who does the worship next time. Some people call us "Cafe church."                                                                                                                                                                                     

Our group offers hospitality in the sharing of a meal and of the heart in the way we care for each other. 

We welcome new members.

  Our next breakfast will be at 10 am on Saturday the 7th June at the Living Room (Just up from Carlucci’s).

Discussion topics coming up include:

7th June     . Our topic, Ecotheology, will be presented by Don Bartlett.

In early 1975 Don wrote "Pollution of the environment is a phenomenon that I regard as second only to overpopulation as the major crisis facing mankind ?. the most serious problem is carbon dioxide."

This statement was by no means prophetic, just a logical conclusion to his work experience to that time. Don will reflect on his long environmental journey and in that context ask us to look back on our own life journey - where we have come from and where we might be going.
