Our fourth paper issue
duly hit the newstands in its promised and expanded form.
An additional 12 pages and a very modest addition to the cover
price. Additionally we have been able to hold the
subscription rate at £10.00 per annum by including free access
to the online edition.
Those who
previously subscribed to the online version will now enjoy an
effective reduction in cost. For others, an increase of a
few pennies per issue brings a much larger magazine with a host
of new features.
We hope you will
be pleased with the result.
MATERIAL
UPDATE
The
main theme of Groups and
Groupwork started in the previous issue of our online
edition concludes in the current issue.
The
Language theme continues and our plea for
individual contributors for this series was answered by a
challenging article from John Rowan.
We
have rather cheekily introduced the next main theme: Nurturing
Ecological Potential into the Groups and Groupwork Main
Theme introduction in this issue by introducing the ideas
of socio-biologist Edward O. Wilson.

Do
we invent our moral absolutes in order to make society
workable? Or are these enduring principles expressed to us
by some transcendent or Godlike authority? Efforts to
resolve this conundrum have perplexed, sometimes inflamed,
our best minds for centuries, but the natural sciences are
telling us more and more about the choices we make and our
reasons for making them.

Future
themes remain:
Bridging
Cultural Differences -
Class, Religion, Ethnicity, Education - the status quo versus
innovation, as applied in our personal and professional
aspirations.
Only
Connect.
Networks
and networking and their potential for self- and
group-development.
And
we are open to suggestions for additional themes, backed up, we hope,
by articles.
