[OSList] Large Open Space with Anglican Church Australia

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Michael,

"‘felt’ more calm and respectful than in previous years"
I wonder why that was no surprise to you.
Could it be part of the cultural shifting that you hope for?

Is there a "Next Meeting" for all of those that got into the 14 Action 
Plans?

Greetings from Berlin
