in an afternoon dialogue that explores the nature of community,
the challenge of sustainability and the transformative possibilities
of compassion. Bishop Michael Ingham of the Diocese of New
Westminster will moderate.
The panel, with the exception of Archbishop Tutu, will meet
with the media following the Dialogue.
