The Fifth Conference of the Thomas Merton Society of Great Britain & Ireland took place in Birmingham in June 2004. In that time before the Asian tsunami, before the London bombings, before hurricanes Katrina and Rita and Stan, before news of the Niger food crisis filtered through, before the earthquake which devastated Pakistan and her neighbours, there was a different range of crises on the public horizon, not least the enduring chaos of destabilization in Iraq. We had chosen with our conference theme to engage with the wider effects of these (perhaps virtual, always critical) realities pressing in on us continually. Not the effects experienced by the victims, the bereaved and damaged, frightened and displaced people of so many catastrophes; but rather the effects upon those of us who profess faith and seek understanding, perhaps as 'guilty bystanders' in Merton's terms.
