Beyond ourselves

This pearl tree was initiated to reflect the outward facing aspects of the existing outreach of our parish church.

Although these initial links are currently repeated within the conventional "Links" menu item on our parish website, I have plans to make the pearl tree available though the website too. As a team effort this will clearly grow beyond the scope of reflecting our parish, but I'd like curators to consider that the audience for the pearl tree may be more than just pearl tree curators.

Quotes[edit] The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat. The pursuit of peace and progress, with its trials and its errors, its successes and its setbacks, can never be relaxed and never abandoned. The day will come when men will see the UN and what it means clearly... Everything will be all right... When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction, and see it as a drawing they made themselves. I never discuss discussions. Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of us. The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law... Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form? Those who invoke history will certainly be heard by history.
