Conversation at Waverley Library
Bondi Junction

Nov 19th  1999

Thanks go to several new people who participated in this conversation.  The new energy and points of view on a variety of points were most welcome.

The discussion included the selection of a suitable topic to start off the new format for conversations.  We are now asking people to attend a series of perhaps 3 or 4 conversations in succession so that we can talk our selected subject out rather than have it left hanging.
What we want is to get beyond merely shuffling around our old knowledge and points of view.  We want to be able to move into a new and possibly altogether different understanding of the issue at hand and hopefully coming to a point where appropriate action will become apparent.
This is going to be an interesting experience.

The first conversational journey in the new millennium will be in the form of a question.   "What sort of things can we do to create a working and compassionate community and override institutional abuse of power?"

We will look forward to having you join us in an exploration of the cultural values that will allow just such a community to flourish.

Next date for the Waverley Library Theatrette has not been set but will be sometime late in January 2000
