Hi Kate and everyone, Lots to think about. Last time we met via zoom and I’m wondering if we can use zoom again? I don’t know about everyone else but I found it much easier and more productive than a telephone conference?

We had planned to have a face to face group meeting in Dublin to review the purpose and direction of the Steering group, and I think that this is so timely that I want to propose a different focus from our usual agenda for the meeting tomorrow. Essentially I would like to consider that instead of a single steering group where people drop in and out, the community and conversations are now broad enough that we could develop sub-groups for a variety of interests or links and have the steering group as a forum for representation and overview of these groups. I also worry that the single conversation model in the meetings is silencing some of the valuable voices we have in the community. I wonder if we could have (for example) * A community support group for those who are pluralism-curious or in training (run by students?) * An academic/research community group where research activities can be shared and ideas or bids developed (could link to the RTCC; could have on-line seminars etc) * A group who work to increase engagement in pluralism, to share understanding and ideas and build an identity for Pluralists (social media, webpages, bloggs) * A conference group who could also start to co-ordinate and promote other events * A professional development group (who could maybe start thinking about how we engage in the 'business' of accreditation, or how we define ourselves however loosely) * A dialogue and discourse group for the philosophy of pluralism and the development of ideas around our approach to helping * Special interest groups e.g. CYP, disabilities... I really want to develop a discussion through the meeting, and by email to generate responses to these ideas - and see where that gets us. I would be very keen for people to come together with alternatives if they have them.
