OBERAMMERGAU 2010
- FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
Tangney Tours are
making their plans now and would like to know preferences of people who would
like to go.
The first one
is 'Preferred dates'. Easter 2010 falls on 4th April, which is a little early
since people still manage to go skiing at Easter time*. Perhaps it would be a
good idea to restrict the possible months to May and June and September.
So far May seems to be the preferred choice. I shall therefore put May
forward to Tangney as a starting point.

The Disability Discrimination Act
The aim of the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) is
to stop discrimination against disabled people including the hearing impaired.
The Act was recently extended to cover education in schools and colleges.
Service providers, including organisations offering
services to the general public, must take 'reasonable' adjustments to ensure
that they do not unlawfully discriminate against disabled people.
Under the act, 'reasonable' adjustments include the
provision of of various auxiliary aids, including induction loop systems, to
enable a deaf or hard of hearing person to access goods, facilities or services
available to the general public. At present, service providers do not have to
make any permanent adjustment to their buildings, but this is about to change.
From October 2004, service providers were required
to install permanent induction loops and infra-red systems where it is
impossible or unreasonably difficult for a deaf or hard of hearing person to
make use of a service.
It is also not enough simply to install an induction
loop system - it must be properly maintained and staff must know how to use it.

Church PA recommends that churches take steps now to
prepare for their extended obligations.
The CTS of hallowed memory has burst
enthusiastically into the 21st Century with a new series of books collectively
called Christianity Pure and Simple. The titles of the five booklets cover
the main areas of understanding and living the Christian faith, obviously
with a Catholic slant! The titles and fields covered by the series are:
-
Is Anybody There? - The Question of
God
-
The God Man - Finding the Real
Jesus
-
The Fire of Life - Who is the Holy
Spirit?
-
The Great Battle - Living by Faith
-
Welcome Home - Belonging to the
Church
An attractively
illustrated 'Seed Leaflet' is now available. It is hoped this might catch the interest of people
looking for some sort of anchor in their lives, or as the CTS puts it, meeting
'Jesus Christ as the solution to the problems of life.'
