Cana Community on Radio National
I have mentioned Father Brian Stoney and the Cana Community several times, most recently on Induction of Andrew Collis, South Sydney Uniting Church. I see that on Sunday Encounter on Radio National has a program about them.
Recently Kevin Rudd sent his ministers onto the streets so they could glimpse what life might be like for homeless people. Well, what happens if you go one step further and build relationships with the most rejected and powerless members of our society: those who are mentally ill, or addicted or are recently out of prison. To find out we spend a day with a community, called Cana, that is doing just that.
Listen or get the podcast/transcript later*. I can tell you, having met Father Stoney and been to Cafe Cana a number of times, you will be challenged and inspired.
UPDATE
* The transcript is now available.
