Meeting

Columbus Residents are working to ensure safe drinking water, clean air, and safe soil in the City of Columbus.
 
There are 13 injection wells in the Columbus Area water supply, where radioactive and toxic liquid waste from unconventional natural gas extraction (shale gas, hydrofracking), is being injected into the earth, with great potential for migration into our water supply.  
 

We start with an icebreaker topic for conversation and then move to an open discussion. Our agenda is always open but in general we discuss life and living beyond religious belief.

The speaker will be Fr. Robert J. Marrone, the pastor of the Community of St. Peter in Cleveland, Ohio. Fr. Marrone was excommunicated for keeping his parish community alive when his bishop ordered the parish closed. The excommunication took place after the Vatican agreed with Fr. Marrone and ordered St. Peter Church to be reopened because it should not have been closed.

Join more than 240 like-minded individuals in the Columbus area who find that banking on their community helps to save them time and builds a better world! Your time is valuable! Spend it wisely! What is timebanking? Timebanking is a tool by which a group of people can exchange their time and skills rather than acquire goods and services through the use of money. How does it work? Spend an hour doing something for someone, get a time credit, and then use that credit for anything from food preparation to pet care or even transportation for a family member!

We will watch the documentary Where Should the Birds Fly by filmmaker Fida Qishta, described by the producer as “the first film about Gaza made by Palestinians living the reality of Israel’s siege and blockade of this tiny enclave.” Few films document so powerfully and personally the impact of modern warfare and sanctions on a civilian population.
