Forum for Equality

Sr. Ann and I recently met with representatives from the Forum for Equality, Mary Griggs and Frank Flaspohler. The Forum is a civil rights organization dedicated to the establishment of a society free from discrimination. In an effort to work more closely with area faith communities they had contacted us and wanted to get a feel for what goes on at Tau House. Result: Tau will be listed and recommended as a place where the LGBT community is welcomed and accepted. Of course we knew that all along, but it’s nice to know there’s an organization like the Forum getting the word out for us. There’s a link to their site in the right hand column.

God Dreams


ADVENT WORKSHOP

On Wednesday evenings in Advent we'll be taking a look at Archbishop Desmond Tutu's book God Has a Dream. We'll be listening to sections of the book as read by the archbishop. A Soup & Bread supper as well as discussion time round out the evening.

Maybe this is the reason you need to get back to Tau House.

Come on back and pick up where you left off.

Wednesdays in December

(2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd)

6 to 8 PM.

November




All The Saints

A place of beauty and prayer, the courtyard at Tau House also triggers our memories every time we touch the names engraved at our feet. The firm foundation on which we walk almost gives way as memory transports us backward and forward. Oh, how I wanna be in that number….

Every now and then it is good to name the names. Every year for this ever-so-New Orleans Feast Day we begin our prayer in this holy place. Below are listed all those who have been important to someone at Tau and whose names are inscribed there. If by chance you notice that a name is missing from this list please let us know.
