An important conversation, March 3 @Bookoccino

[Bookoccino @Bookoccino]

An audience question about the role of grace in politics prompts ⁦@bairdjulia⁩ to reflect on the need for grace for bipartisan action.

[Bookoccino @Bookoccino]

⁦@bairdjulia⁩ describes the unifying human experiences of the “soundtrack of awe”, particularly in nature - “no one looks at a whale shark and says: ‘Ergh! Whale sharks suck’”

[Bookoccino @Bookoccino]

⁦@bairdjulia⁩ explores restorative criminal justice practices and explains the crucial role that justice plays in grace and forgiveness, and how grace can liberate survivors from anger and suffering.

[Bookoccino @Bookoccino]

⁦@Juanita_Phillip⁩ reflects on a question asked in ⁦@bairdjulia⁩’s book “Bright Shining”: when was the last time you witnessed a public act of grace.

[Bookoccino @Bookoccino]

⁦@bairdjulia⁩ beautifully explores what “grace” can mean in a secular society, and how powerful it can be to give and receive grace.

@Bookoccino @SophieScamps @adele_ferguson @jmwhistleblower Woohoo!! Great to have our* local member along. 👊✊

[Bookoccino @Bookoccino]

Full house tonight ⁦@glenstreet⁩ to hear ⁦@bairdjulia⁩ in conversation with @Juanita_Phillip!

Looking forward to a fabulous night ahead celebrating Julia’s latest book “Bright Shining: How Grace Changes Everything”.

Beware the multi - millionaire politicians trying to convince poor and working class Australians that people seeking asylum, who are even poorer and more desperate than them are a threat to their safety, prosperity & future. The wealth gap is driven by unfettered corporate greed

A gut-churning, heart-aching read from a father in Chicago @dansinker who is furious, afraid and all out of tears. Currently the most read story on @TheAtlantic, likely by millions of similarly furious, afraid & broken parents. https://t.co/f6OAmgN63R

@caitlinchang @JennaPrice And everyone likes to “help” and “feel useful”!

[Bookoccino @Bookoccino]

@caitlinchang I’m not a mum, but our friendship group covered the cost of a weekly cleaner for 6 months when someone had twins.

The twins are almost 10 and she still thanks us for it.

Great questions from 2 school student audience members regarding what overseas tech or approach should be adopted here. ⁦@zalisteggall⁩ advocates for legislation to encourage business innovation, and suggests the girls start by organising an energy audit at their school
