Introducing the International Reflection Process Team Members:

Elaine Wainwright rsm

I am a member of ISMAPNG. My ministry is that of a biblical scholar and I rejoice in the opportunities this provides of bringing the gospel into dialogue with people’s lives and their engagement with the Earth community.

I look forward to engaging with you as the reflection process on eco-justice in a cosmological context unfolds for us during 2016.

Helen Diviney rsm

I belong to the Western Province. I entered in Longford in 1974 and now live in Co. Galway in a community of three. My ministry to date has been in primary education. For the last 13 years I have been working as a Reading Recovery Teacher Leader. In September I will be working part time in this new role.

Through my involvement in the international reflection process, I am looking forward to learning more about the worldwide community of Mercy and through the work of co-ordinating the project, to getting to know some people well. It is exciting that we will be part of the wider community of the church in this process. I am also looking forward to deepening my understanding of Eco justice.

Anne Walsh

In my work in communication, the common theme has been 'connecting language and life' through 'work that matters'.

I produce and edit Mercy eNews each week and maintain the mercyworld.org website for MIA. I feel privileged to now be invited to work closely with Elaine, Helen and the congregation and institute co-ordinators on this reflection process. I look forward to co-ordinating the communication of our global learnings and reflections.
