Why I Support ACTA – Voices from Shrewsbury (090115)
ACTA is about promoting dialogue within the Catholic Church and ensuring people can speak and listen to each other openly and honestly and without fear.
In December, we invited ACTA supporters from Shrewsbury to write a few sentences ‘from the heart’ about what draws them to ACTA. (“There are no ‘right’ reasons - just ‘your’ reason...”)
Quite varied in length, content and style, these first contributions give a very personal indication as to why ACTA matters. They reflect a wide range of viewpoints, some of which are quite forthright, all of which are heartfelt.
I you would like to add your voice, please send your contribution to: martinandmaria@lineone.net

December 2014 Newsletter (149.43 kB)
In putting together my first Newsletter as Chair of ACTA I thought it might be helpful if I told you a little about myself. I have been involved in ACTA from the outset and attended the now famous meeting at Heythrop when we had to decamp to a large neighbouring church, so many had turned up in London. It was a truly uplifting occasion and I could sense the energy of this large group of faithful Catholics who wanted to dialogue with other groups in the Church, including bishops. The one thing that drew us together was our passionate love of Church and our wish to spread the good news of the gospels.
