Community Reflection: Go within

Go within,

or go without

 

I spent four days last week at St Patrick's Society in Kiltegan, Co. Wicklow and this simple quote (I can find various attributions) in the beautiful gardens was inspirational in the work I was doing there.

IMA invitation
stone wall

All our ordained ministers are members of our community.  The number of ministers choosing to step into practical support for our community continues to grow. Whilst for some, the IMA is part of their professional ministry, for many it is way of demonstrating their 'friendship' with the Foundation, and their support for its continuing work. There are guide fees for joining, and those on lower incomes are asked to attune the level of their contribution. We invite you to reflect on your relationship with the Foundation and show your support by joining

Have you changed address recently?  Please update your profile address. Several Ministers on the Public Register have moved, but their profile continues to display their old location to the public seeking a minister.
