In this coming series, there will be 8 wonderful sessions during the year, I open it but then there's a a a a. The voice from somebody who has worked with marginal people in central London and in Africa for many years, and deep, deep wisdom and compassion. Um, there's somebody who created the Special Olympics and is now working on a dignity, uh, programme, dignity movement. There's an Irish poet, a Jewish teacher of mysticism from Jerusalem, a Sufi scholar and practitioner. Uh, an Indian teacher, and academic, a great scholarship rooted in theophacy and the Hindu tradition. And There is a former diplomat and adviser to governments who is now leading Lash, the community in which those with handicaps, visible and invisible, have learned to live together. So we have a wonderful array of speakers from, from deep personal experience and wisdom, also sharing with us uh from different perspectives on this, on this crisis, really, that our world is facing, and I, I really believe that the result of listening and participating in these sessions and in these different perspectives. Will awaken in all of us, uh. A confidence That conviviality. The risk of living together. It is more than justified. It is our destiny, and we must approach it with great hope and confidence and joy, and our speakers in the coming year will be doing that for us, I believe. So I look forward to you joining us for the series on the risk of living together, a risk worth taking.
