The Theology of Community
	Rowland will speak on 'the theology of community', looking at the notion that religion has to be primarily communal, not individual. He will be looking at the O and NT, attempting to draw out threads of the idea of connectedness, trust, mutual-responsibility and accountability. In part, this will draw from his experience of living in the l'Arche community. Roland describes himself as a carer, dad, son, lay minister, musician, poet, artist and child of God. living and working at Cornerstone, l'Arche in Ipswich.  He is the Cornerstone Animator
L’Arche is an international movement of communities where people with different kinds of disabilities (we all have some kind of disability) live, work, laugh, cry, fight, play, eat and pray together. Those needing more support are called core members. We come to find a life of meaningful, authentic relationships. The core members become “the teachers of love and the healers of their assistants. They help the assistants to grow to greater maturity; they lead the way into a deepened vision of Christianity, a way of unity and love.”
