The present moment

 

You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith, and hope.

(Thomas Merton)

Greetings! 

 

The focus seems to be on London just now, with events, festivals, celebrations and sports all happening in the city. It's also the venue for our Convocation 2012, including a very special pilgrimage walk visiting a range of sacred sites and buildings that you may not know are there. Advance booking is essential.

 

With blessings to you from Tim, and on behalf of all the staff team

Spirit in London

 

One Spirit Interfaith Foundation has a close affinity with the work of the Wrekin Trust. The Trust is organising an event in London on 12 May entitled Spirit in London to bring love and energy to the capital city in the run-up to the Jubilee celebration and the Olympics. Several high-profile speakers will be participating in the day, and all interfaith ministers and students are most welcome.
