Faith: reasons to be cheerful

I'm not what people generally know as a "man of faith", and sometimes the religious responses to the crises of the world have left me exasperated and despairing.

"Redeeming our Communities": any transitioners been working with them?

Published on November 22, 2010 by Ben Brangwyn

There's an interesting organisation called Redeeming Our Commuties - they facilitate a coordinated approach involving Churches, police and local authorities to produce more cohesive communities.

Looks like a well thought through approach and showing success in many cities around the UK.

Has anyone had experience with working with them? Please respond on this thread if you have and perhaps we can share that experience and work more closely with them.

Thanks. Ben.

Kingston on Thames Transition are holding their first Interfaith Forum event. The event promises to provide an opportunity for people from different perspectives to meet and to talk about a subject of fundamental importance to us all - our environment . Another aim is to discuss what might motivate us to make more sustainable choices in life - such as ways to reduce our carbon footprint. A theme running through the seminar could be: - connecting people in our local community and - connecting beliefs to action.
