Faith and Peace in Public Life from the experience of the peace process May 19, 2008
Posted by the blogfather in : talks / lectures , add a commentThis Lent I spent a month attending the Gonzaga lectures 2008 at St Aloysius’ College: a series of 4 lectures based around a central theme.
The lectures were first established as part of St Aloysius’ College’s outreach to the wider community. They take their inspiration from the centuries old Jesuit patronage of intellectual enquiry and spiritual development. The titles of the lectures witness to the width of their scope and their relevance to life the Church and Society in present day Glasgow. They have been running since 1995.
The theme this year was ’Faith in Public Life’ - I am happy to present the first of these talks with the the others following one each month.
Talk 01 - Faith and Peace in Public Life from the experience of the peace process

what do you think….. March 28, 2008
Posted by the blogfather in : videos , add a commentThis short 10 minute film I produced with Kaye Smith of SPUC Scotland (society for the protection of unborn children). It premiered at an international student pro-life conference that included guest speakers including Celeste Beal, great niece of famous civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King. Shot on a simple Sony handy-cam minus the Hollywood crew and budget we managed to film, edit and put it all together in a few weeks over the busy Easter period - just! Don’t be fooled by the dazzling sunshine in the video this really was filmed in Glasgow, Scotland - it was a very rare February day! It can be easy to edit these sorts of films for your own goals but we really tried to portray the general views we gathered on the day and I think this was achieved successfully - what you see is what we got!
For more information on S.P.U.C visit the website @ www.spucscotland.org
Enjoy the film and let me know what you think about the film, the views of those on it and of course YOURS - WHAT DO YOU THINK……..
