NJPN NW J&P Bulletin January 2020
The January 2020 issue of the NW NJPN E Bulletin focuses on the aftermath of the December 2019 General Election with an in-depth analysis of "Our uprooted nation: from Brexit to a Christian vision of the Common Good" by Anna Rowlands.
A last minute addition comes from Sojourners USA following the assassination of Iranian General Qasim Soleimani by the Trump administration - see page 12.
World Peace Day is also featured alongside two articles by a 16 year-old student from Macclesfield and tributes to eco-theologian Ed Echlin and HCPT founder Br Michael Strode who died recently.
Here in the UK we look at a new Care for the Elderly initiative from CSAN, the Catholic People's Week programme for 2020, art and film reviews and a diary of local and national events - all making up a varied bulletin.
New Year Prayer by Fr Rob Esdaile:
In 2020: may our politics be kinder, our nation more united, our concern for the vulnerable deeper, our questioning of why the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer more searching, our fear of climate-change more powerful ... and may our trust in each other, our hope to build a better future together, our love of the life which we share with all other creatures and our capacity for joy grow day by day. Happy New Year, everyone!
