An unusual request to ACP members

Roisin O’Shea write this letter to Tony Flannery, of the ACP Leadership Team:
I need your support.
My proposal for an EU Community Family Justice model, that was an outcome of my international family law workshop in March at W.I.T., has been nominated for an Innovating Justice award by the Hague Institute [Scroll down to see the email below]. The organisers ask that I send their email to my network, family and friends to vote. The three proposals that secure the greatest amount of votes go on to be considered by a closed jury. My proposal is for an overarching family justice model, that puts mediation centre stage, to be used in the same way by all Member States, the research centre would be based at W.I.T. if we can get the funding. The first part of the voting process, which is worldwide, is essentially a public vote, so I need every vote I can get!
Voting is now open and ends on October 8th. Voting has now been simplified, go to

Irish Catholic Church – Crisis or Opportunity?

 Joe McVeigh suggests that we need to view the position in which our church finds itself as an opportunity rather than a crisis.
“this is not a crisis for the Church. It is a crisis for a certain model of Church leadership and ministry. The old model was based on the pyramid structure of the Roman Empire.  The Second Vatican council moved away from that model – in theory anyway.” ……
“The prophetic role of the priest in Ireland today has been neglected. There has been much discussion about the need to reform the church rather than about how to make the Word of God relate to the lives of people of today.”

  1. Sounds like a very worthwhile project and Roisin O’Shea has clearly achieved a lot in this area already.
    Voting is straightforward, though possibly a little bewildering at first and you may need to use a Gmail account.
    Attempt to vote. You will be asked to register. Do that. Log in. Vote for real.

  2. Would you consider putting the “Submit Comment” button below the Captcha code. I don’t know how many times I’ve hit the button not having seen the code and when you backpage your original text is gone.
    Just a thought in the interest of continued serenity.
