“No more hurting people.  Peace.” These are the words of 8-year-old Martin Richard, of Dorchester, Massachusets.  They are from a poster he created in school, after the  shooting death of Trayvon Martin.  When Martin Richard was killed in the bomb blast at...

“Field to Fork” – A Great Day!

by | May 30, 2013 | Creation

Once again, the recent spring Field to Fork meal was remarkable, a feast for all the senses. Every time people come to Corhaven for an event, I feel a sense of relief.  Finally I can meet the people I have been contacting for some time, and everyone has such an easy...

Restoring Peace

by | Apr 11, 2013 | Creation

I almost passed this article by, as I do with many articles that come to my computer screen, but the title intrigued me. There is so much truth in the article, through to the last quote which sums it all up for me. I thought this fits so well with what Coracle is,...

We began our journey in eastern Congo (DRC) in Aru, a place spared much (though not all) of the violence that is so typical of this country. Anglican Relief and Development Fund helped establish a project in this diocese that we had the chance to see and evaluate, and...

The Glorious Demise of Squealy the Pig

by | Sep 21, 2012 | Creation, For the World

It was a cruel thing, perhaps, to do to Liam, our six year old son.   His whole life to that point had been urban, as in, the inner-city of Washington DC.   Living in the broken places of the world and the city had been Tara’s and my past for a long time, and we...
