SNAP - The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests Conference 2011 : Thank you Bishop Accountability for acknowledging Paul Kendrick and Cyrus Sibert and Ruth Moore for the important ongoing work in Haiti.

Friends, Enclosed find some photos from the Snap conference in DC this past weekend. This year the conference took on an international element with speaker Christine Sanderson, author of "The Warrior Within" (a workbook for those recovering from abuse), Peter Saunders also from the UK (who kept us laughing with his British wit), Lieve Halsberghe from Belgium who is organizing a Snap* group in France, Nicki Wells from Australia, also very entertaining and committed to building a retreat facility for survivors in Sidney. There is no way to summarize all that was presented this past weekend only to say my favorite part was visiting with other close friends who now feel like family. Bishop Accountability (BA) as usual was well received with their presentation of new data being added to their archives. Thank you BA for acknowledging Paul Kendrick and Cyrus Sibert (and me too) for the important ongoing work in Haiti. It was good to see Brian Harlow and his wife Lisa in attendance for the first time.

Il faut finir avec cette approche d'un État paternaliste qui tout en refusant de créer le cadre approprié pour le développement des entreprises mendie des millions sur la scène internationale en exhibant la misère du peuple."
