More Precious than LightHow dialogue can transform relationships and build community Margreet van den Brink Profound changes are taking place as people awaken to the experience of the Christ in themselves, and in significant human encounter. As tradition fades, individual and social paths of growth emerge. These are helped by building relationships through helping conversations, through dialogue, through exploring heart felt questions which can lead to liberating personal insights. This book shows how such dialogues can transform relationships and build community. But real meeting and healing conversations take effort. There is light and darkness in encounter. There is sympathy and antipathy in relationships. Do we meet ourselves or the other? Contents New Times

Paths to Christ
Russel Evans in his introduction: The true community spirit values differences as well as harmony, is open rather than closed. Challenge, support, questioning and empathy are all needed. Knowing when one or the other is appropriate depends on presence of mind. It depends as much on intuition as on a knowledge of groupwork. This book offers a path through which both knowledge and intuition can gradually be joined, by patient practise and the readiness to learn from the experiences themselves'.
