==Nautia Housing Co-operative==

The principle aim of the co-operative is to provide secure, tenant-managed housing for its members . Tenant management allows us to choose how to run or modify the house without interference from landlords. Nautia is part of the Radical Routes national network of co-ops (http://www.radicalroutes.org.uk)

We are currently a four person housing co-op and would like to find more like-minded people. If you would like to learn more about housing co-ops then please contact us at nautia.house@googlemail.com. Alternatively we will be doing talks in the New Year at various venues if you wish to come along. Dates are to be confirmed.

~~How much do Christians know about the continuing strife and bloodshed in Palestine?~~

How much do we care about the suffering of the Palestinians in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza? Should we ignore what is happening there, to “pass by on the other side”, as in the parable of the Good Samaritan?

~~We used to know Palestine as the Holy land, where Jesus Christ ministered and died for us. It is also a country for which we were responsible under Mandate from the League of Nations until 1948.~~
