Now if I can get our diocese group to do something similar so that some of the money goes to something more concrete.<br /><br />I've been looking at the differences between what the UTO did in the past, bought vehicles, medicine, paid for scholarships/ medical training, repaired buildings etc. and seeing that much of that is banned from this year's grants in favor of art and social justice makes me wonder what they want.

This move, I believe, signals the beginning of a UTO within the Church of Haiti, tooling up for the day when autonomy is more fully realized.<br /><br />The decision to do this is a year old, predating the "issues" that have appeared of late.Mark Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871096746243771489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-28741333530023317262014-01-30T23:12:14.249-05:002014-01-30T23:12:14.249-05:00Sounds like one outcome of the breakdown between U...Sounds like one outcome of the breakdown between UTO and 815 IMOAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287169546184325690noreply@blogger.com
