Save the Grove Again Committee President Lacey Smith isn’t all that surprised that Cavanagh Homes intends to go through with its purchase of 20 acres of meadowland property from the Galilee Centre, given that those in control of the religious retreat’s board chose to put the land on the block.
We turn to The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 26 for today’s lesson
Lacey Smith says the Galilee Centre’s decision, made the way it was in private, defies all expectations- in that interaction between OMI Lacombe and the community is rooted in history.
The Save the Grove Again Committee president says its not just her group that has been ignored, in what appears to be a flawed process.
Even though the process may have overlooked some fundamental benchmarks, we asked if the news can appear discouraging.
Lacey Smith says dialogue and consultation remain central to the task
No weapon in the arsenal of options should be overlooked
It’s not like Save the Grove Again hasn’t tried to talk to Cavanagh Homes.
So What’s Next?
Lacey Smith says no stone will be unturned- and mayhap, not wetland rock.
The Save the Grove Again Committee President says, on the other hand, you don’t even have to read the fine print to know what Cavanagh thinks.
Smith says there’s strength in numbers.
