>Hope that doesn't seem too negative!
Not at all, thanks for letting me know - it's just good to know who is involved and what the level of interest is since I've not met most of you! Thanks for those who have responded, I appreciate you're all quite busy people. So how about I say Thurs. 27th April in the evening and those of you that can make it, great - those that can't, we can fill you in what we discussed via the email loop? It would, of course, be great to have as many of you as possible, but I understand!
Perhaps one of you who knows you will be coming can suggest a place/time etc. as I've don't know Glasgow having never been before! What do you think to my idea of going to a pub and then those of us who want/need can get some food at the same time?
Don't forget, if you know of others who aren't on this loop but would be interetsed in connecting with people to pray+campaign and explore issues of global social injustice and SPEAK's ethos, bring them along / let them know!!
God bless,
Ele.

I've been involved in the SPEAK group in Glasgow in time gone by but
recently haven't been particularly active. I'm in my final year of
medicine and I've got my final exams in just over 3 weeks time, so I
have had to put blinkers on to most other things happening at the
moment. Since I won't be finished exams until mid-May, I definitely
couldn't get involved in an April meeting. At the moment I'm not
really able to look ahead to the future but I am still interested in
the work of SPEAK. At the moment it isn't what I want to concentrate
my time on but it is good to be kept informed and to be encouraged to
think through justice issues.
Hope that doesn't seem too negative!
God bless,
Stuart (Fergusson)

I have a provisional date to come and see you and would REALLY VALUE
YOUR REPLY asap so I can be making plans :) It would be great to meet
with you guys and to chat/pray/eat? together.

week of 25th April and would love to fill you in on these exciting

this would be valuable for both you and them. I'm suggesting
Wednesday 26th April in the evening. (Failing that, possibly the
Tues.or Thurs. either side of it) .

share about, and invite you to, a one-day gathering in June
called "Check 2" (June 24th, London) where we'll be exploring how
SPEAK groups function beyond student-life. Your input in this as well
as what you could learn from other Young Adult groups and their
experiences would, I believe, be helpful for your group.
