21.01.2022 You are seeking God and he is everywhere. Everything proclaims God to you, everything reveals God to you, everything brings God to you. God is by your side, over you, around you and in you.... Here is God’s dwelling and yet, you still seek him. Jean Pierre de Caussade (16751751)

13.01.2022 Hi, During the Covid-lockdown the number of rough sleepers on the Cathedral precinct reduced to almost zero. This was from a previous high of 13-20 people per n...ight. During the lockdown a large number of homeless people were housed in hotel accommodation. This was seen as a public health measure and was intended to minimise spread of Covid-19 through a vulnerable section of the community. The Rev’d Dr Ann Solari, Cathedral Deacon and GP, works in the homeless sector. She reports that the provision of housing to the previously homeless not only worked as a public health measure but also had positive health benefits for the individuals concerned. There was a massive reduction in skin and lung infections and in the amount of trauma associated with street violence amongst those who were housed. Once the lockdown was over a good number of the rough sleepers were found permanent housing. This was a good outcome. However, many others have had to return to the streets. This movement to the streets has been exacerbated by the fact that a number of places that previously housed homeless people on a short- to medium-term basis have had their certification withdrawn. All such accommodation is now required to offer ensuite bathrooms. Most existing facilities have dormitory-style accommodation and have been deemed unfit for purpose. This reduction in short- to medium-term housing and the lack of sufficient stocks of social housing has resulted in the number of people sleeping rough on the Cathedral precinct and alsewhere returning to pre-Covid levels. One night this past week there were over a dozen people sleeping here. At its most recent meeting the Cathedral Council noted this development with dismay. They also noted that various groups, including community housing associations, The Master Builders Association and private developers, have called on the State and Federal Governments to fund a social-housing led recovery. The Cathedral Council resolved to write to both the State and Federal Governments to bring to their attention the plight of the increasing number of rough sleepers and to advocate for the social-housing led recovery. You might like to write/call your local members to advocate for this too. Peace, Peter+

10.01.2022 Well? What do you all think? Let's start with how we define "community" or rather WHO do we define as our community??

02.01.2022 I am anxious. Across the Pacific Ocean, people of the United States of America - Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Atheists and more - are voting in an election that is raising the collective blood pressure across the globe. Does what happen in the US really affect us? You bet. May wisdom pervade, and justice for all be the cry. May peace and calm follow in the coming hours, days and weeks ahead. May the vote for leadership be a vote for humanity.... We keep the US in our prayers. See more
