Glenise Morgan updated us on the work of the Corrymeela Community:
Our group has not met since before Christmas, but we worked on an update of the environmental messages in our 2021 Community Register and Prayer Guide and several of us attended the recent ECI virtual meeting on 16 January where there were such inspiring talks from Carolyn and Margo on their ecological parish projects in Carlow and Bonnybrook parishes respectively. We are sharing the slides with churches in our area and, having checked, can confirm that the Ballycastle centre has several swift boxes, with “callers”, installed. We will watch closely for any signs of nesting!
Corrymeela held another Community Weekend in January, attended by over 90 people. With a new head of Council and other new members, there was further invigorating discussion on what our unique contribution to transforming division over the next five years should look like. One of the six major themes addressed was the environment, and our group’s next meeting will discuss the comments and proposals gathered from this and the previous October weekend, in order to provide feedback before Corrymeela’s new Strategic Plan is agreed around Easter.
