Great questions from 2 school student audience members regarding what overseas tech or approach should be adopted here. 🌏 Zali Steggall MP advocates for legislation to encourage business innovation, and suggests the girls start by organising an energy audit at their school


A gut-churning, heart-aching read from a father in Chicago 💀 damned sinker 💀 who is furious, afraid and all out of tears. Currently the most read story on The Atlantic, likely by millions of similarly furious, afraid & broken parents. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Full house tonight Glen Street Theatre to hear 💥Dr💥 Julia Baird in conversation with Juanita Phillips! Looking forward to a fabulous night ahead celebrating Julia’s latest book “Bright Shining: How Grace Changes Everything”.


💥Dr💥 Julia Baird beautifully explores what “grace” can mean in a secular society, and how powerful it can be to give and receive grace.


Juanita Phillips reflects on a question asked in 💥Dr💥 Julia Baird’s book “Bright Shining”: when was the last time you witnessed a public act of grace.


💥Dr💥 Julia Baird explores restorative criminal justice practices and explains the crucial role that justice plays in grace and forgiveness, and how grace can liberate survivors from anger and suffering.


💥Dr💥 Julia Baird describes the unifying human experiences of the “soundtrack of awe”, particularly in nature - “no one looks at a whale shark and says: ‘Ergh! Whale sharks suck’”


An audience question about the role of grace in politics prompts 💥Dr💥 Julia Baird to reflect on the need for grace for bipartisan action.
