[HT Forum] Justice, Desire, Peace and the Environmen t

[Jocelyn Chappell]

Following Tony's talk on Sunday and our interesting discussion at 
homegroup on Tuesday evening I have rather hastily written a few notes 
that may interest folk beyond Liz and Ken's homegroup:-

1) Peace, Justice and Desire (a small survey of (Christian and secular) 
organisations mostly on the environment case)

2) Even a dog is not just for Christmas (a guide to charity gifting)

3) Distractions (notes an article in Wednesday's SocietyGuardian 
illustrating another conflict between our desires and justice (i.e. in 
the context of Valentine's flowers:- environmental stewardship, human 
rights, sustainable multinational commerce, and probity of government)

Now I am going to be really cheeky. Please, if you have read "Global 
Warning :: The Last Chance for Change" by Paul Brown and have time to 
write a 100 word review I would really, really, really like to put your 
review up on the website. If you haven't read the book I encourage you 
to do so - there is a link to the Amazon page in one of the notes - and 
then you can write the review. It is a good read with loads of pictures 
AND it would look great on your coffee table. In fact it would look 
rather nice on our coffee table - but we don't have one of those. 
Seriously, if you cannot get hold of a copy you are welcome to borrow ours.

Finally, any feedback on what may signal a new direction for the website 
would be hugely valued (even if you have only spotted some typos). 
Please email or even better add a comment on the website.

Regards,

Joc
