Really interesting hearing Gordon Brown talk about his new book. Struck by phrase that he used that we need to not just think about economic recession but also civic recession. The loss of those places, spaces, connections that build togetherness and that has implications locally but globally

Great to be at the Unity Hubb for a good chunk of my day. Always humbled by having been involved in this community building organisation starting with a new vision for a consecrated church in the midst of a multi cultural community.

I absolutely love being part of the core team of community treasure but that as part of that is thinking about how over time we lead by stepping back and enable this movement to grow. Love that we do some real deep reflection and learning together.
