摘要：Conversation became explicitly and definitely part of my consciousness, as a potentially important way to promote and maintain good relationships in 1994. In July of that year, a group of twelve met in Balmain to discuss ways we might promote renewal within the Catholic Church. From the start there were two principles that we were clear on:
We wanted to remain within the Church structure, to work for renewal within the system;
We wanted to be non-confrontationist, though this did not preclude addressing issues, where necessary, that some might find confrontational.
