Face hatred with love, and fear with courage. If surrounded by need, strive to be of service. Above all, be an agent for peace.

Today as always, our hearts are with those affected by senseless violence, which to varying degrees, is all of us.

For your diaries

Just a quick post flagging up two upcoming events to put in your diaries. 

Firstly, as trailed at the Water and Sanitation gathering the other week, we are collaborating with Synergy, the young adult community at St Barnabas to hold a joint discussion looking at the pros and cons of pacifism and non-violence (especially within a faith context). The meeting will be on the 30th November (that's next Wednesday) at the Elephant Pub in Finchley from 7:30pm and will be similar to the recent informal gathering at Catcher in the Rye - an opportunity to meet other people and wrestle with a topic over a few drinks. The Facebook event is here, if you are interested and on FB.

Secondly, our main session in December will be a week earlier than usual due to Christmas, so come along on the14th December for a festive celebration of Justice Matters' first year, featuring live music from the very talented Tanya Cristina. As usual, meet from 7pm for food and networking, 7:45 for the main session. The Facebook event page is here.

Hope to see you at one of the gatherings!
