The times they are a changing (Bob Dylan). The economic, political, environmental and societal tectonic plates are changing the world. Seismic changes that cast dark clouds of challenges and some rays of light opportunities call for the need to Listen Well, Think Deeply and Live Authentically. The purpose of this Northumbrian Collective small initiative is to encourage people to do just that. In the process, we hope to build bridges of understanding, wisdom, hope and friendships, make connections between people and places and help to promote an appreciation of how faith engages with contemporary life.
