THE
GERT LEAKEY PROGRAM
For a number
of years, a wonderful woman named Gert Leakey
was an office volunteer for the Anawim Community,
later the Jubilee Community, at that time the
sponsor of this program.
The Jubilee Community, in winding up its affairs,
donated funds to the Pacific Jubilee Program,
to be devoted to a program named in her honour.
Our present intent is to create a program which
will enable spiritual directors to integrate more
fully the justice dimension of their work into
their practice. To this end, we contemplate organizing
a travel-study program of exposure and encounter
based in a developing country, perhaps Guatemala.
Because of the hiatus we have recently experienced,
the program is on hold for the time being. We
hope that within the next year we will be able
to announce the dates and focus of the first offering
of the program. Enquiries are welcome in the meantime.
