3. THE SUMMONS Will you come and follow me if I but call your name Will you go where you don’t know and never be the same? Will you let my love be shown, Will you let my name be known Will you let my life be grown in you and you in me? 1/5

7. THE SUMMONS Lord, your summons echoes true when you but call my name Let me turn and follow you and never be the same In your company I’ll go where your love and footsteps show Thus I’ll move and live and grow in you and you in me. 5/5

Questions arising...2/2 • Ethnic diversity is a strength – if we allow it – How do we ensure all are welcome? • Social needs of some regions are very high –what does building the kingdom mean then? • How do our parishes and other catholic groups work directly with the families in our schools • Should our schools be the base for all catholic social services • How do we give “preferential option(s) for the poor”

13. PROCESS What are the most important challenges/questions raised by the presentations today?

14. PROCESS • Summary of the two main challenges: • Sharing resources (knowledge of) - Services, Finances...,etc How do we get people to respond - as Stewards? how do we open up the Common Good? Can (How) we consolidate? Providing preferential options for poorer communities • Creating multi - Ethnic/Aged communities = Best practice. How do we cross fertilise the "Faith Richness" of these communities with other groups? How do communities see self as giver and receiver?
