On Sunday June 15th, 2008 at 7:30 pm Diarmuid O'Murchu will be visiting Ottawa to give a lecture at St John's on the topic of "WE DESIRE WHAT CREATION LONGS FOR".

Diarmuid O'Murchu, a member of the Sacred Heart Missionary Order, and a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, is a social psychologist whose entire working life has been in social ministry. In that capacity he has worked as a couple counsellor, in bereavement work, AIDS / HIV counseling, and laterally with homeless people and refugees. As a workshop leader and group facilitator he has worked in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, The Philippines, Thailand, India, Peru, and several African countries facilitating programmes on adult faith development.

His best known books include Quantum Theology (1996- revised 2004), Reclaiming Spirituality (1998), Evolutionary Faith (2002), Catching up with Jesus (2005), and The Transformation of Desire (2007). In this lecture Diarmuid O'Murchu will explore the role of desire in our lives and in the life of the cosmos.
