20/12 : Genesis 2 units now online!
As promised the Genesis 2 videos from 1990 are now online for the public to see, in this site and in other places.You will see the new menu on the right where you can access the talks from all 6 units. Within each unit the talk has been chunked down to 2 or 3 short videos. The videos are now on YouTube, which will allows more scope for sharing.
They are useful for any individual or group interested and you might want to suggest them to others.
For ourselves I have created new forums for each unit. The public can't access them so I've created one for them also.
Just in time for Christmas. Why not write the website address down and stick it someones stocking? Just in case Santa forgets!
Seasons greetings

01/12 : Advent Relection 2009
2009 Advent Winter's WisdomThe Introduction to 2009 Winter's Wisdom " The mention of Advent always stirs thoughts of waiting. . . waiting for Christmas. We Theologians always speak of reflecting on the three ways of Christ's coming: in history in Bethlehem, in the daily events of our lives, and the second coming in the future. I've been thinking that we've got it all wrong. We need not wait for God. God is always present, always with us. That's what the name Emmanuel means: God-with-us. And, that's the primary truth we hear in the Scriptures. God created us, and calls us into relationship. God is indeed present with us, and especially in the person of Jesus the Christ. No, this Advent, I've come to see that it's GOD who waits for US. . . . . .waits for us to notice that we are indeed created by God. We are born with unique gifts and qualities as well as deficiencies and lack of qualities. God only sees our goodness, and waits for us to notice too. . . .waits for us to notice the myriad ways in which God is with us, always. We know the Creator in the beauty and amazing capacities of creation, both earth and human. We know the Creator when we experience love. We know the Creator when we can not explain or understand mystery. . . .waits for us to notice when we observe people acting in the image of God: in covenant with one another, both those known and unknown, both those alike and those very different. . . .waits for us to notice the emptiness in our hearts that can only be filled by God's own Self. . . .in the season of Advent, as Christmas approaches, God waits for us to notice the wonder and innocence of little children. How God must long for us grownups to be more like them, without guile. It is true that in Advent we wait; but really, it is God who waits for us. May we savor and revel in that reality.

This soundtrack permeates throughout my time at Langbank. We also used part of the film for our retreat programme. Very powerful look at redemption and Jesuit spirituality!!
