An Invitation has been extended to all the laity of Birmingham
Archdiocese to a meeting on Sunday 9 December from 3pm to 5pm in MANRESA
House (Address: 10 Albert Road, Harborne, Birmingham B17 0AN).
The organisers state: “Groups of priests around the world are calling for action. We are lay Catholics who share their concerns.
We love Christ’s church and are anxious about its future. Still
inspired by the Second Vatican Council we want to contribute fully to
the life of our church, so that we may be a more effective sign of the
kingdom of God. To do this end we believe that an atmosphere of openness
and dialogue both with each other, with our priests and with our
bishops needs developing. We hope to create a climate of trust and
respect for all, where this dialogue may be fostered.”
