<div>Dear Lynda,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I don't think I have John's email address, but you are welcome to put
it on the OE list serve.</div>
<div>Having spent most of my first 2 years in the Order at Mowanjum,
it was the place where I learned most and learned to love the
people.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>These day, it will probably go unnoticed by the Australian public as
the "turn to the right" has descended on us again.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Much love</div>
<div> </div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span>Jo<span>h</span>n and Julie, Thank you so much for
sharing this very tragic news of the deep trouble in the Mowanjun
community. I couldn't tell to whom this article was sent, but John
didn't receive it which made me wonder if it went out to the OE list
serve. Of course the OE list was down yesterday for maintenance so
there may have been some loss. Should I send it on to the OE list
serve? </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span>Certainly we will
keep this in our care. </span><span>Thank
you for keeping us in the loop. </span></div><br>

<div>Dear Order Ecumenical and ICA Australia colleagues,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You will remember Mowanjum, the first community the
Ecumenical Institute worked in at the end of the 1960s and early
1970.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We loved many of the people there, and have recently learned
that it is in deep trouble. The attached articles were written for
the Canberra Times and Sydney Morning Herald newspapers, and they
are for your information and prayers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Go well,</div>
<div>Julie Miesen </div>

<div dir="ltr">G'day Julie<br> <br>Attached are the online
versions of the same article, by Russell Skelton. I think
they're pretty much idenhtical, and cover the same material as in
The Age today. I know The Age and The SMH are both Fairfax
papers, while The Canberra Times is independent. I suspect
Skelton circulated the article widely.<br> <br>I'll print these
off, check with The Age newspapeer (I always get it on Thursdays for
The Green Guide), then check The Australian
today.<br> <br>Cheers (hardly the right
word)<br> <br>Frank<br></div>
