and the discussion was not always
with like minded people.
This was part of my inheritance.
from Church and Secular background.
constantly in youth community work, meeting many good caring people.
The
politics where well suppose different to ones held by me, the social engagement
upbringing at time was very different, often among people with love for young
people .Strong commitment to battle improve their whole in life.
Moving to Liverpool all my previous knowledge was valuable from volunteer in local Church to harshness of outer estate community's in Hull and Grimsby.
Liverpool was beautiful, its people found a place in my heart.
Not just one called Roz, but many as worked the streets of Anfield among group of Church folk from very traditional also some from radical Christian stand point.
But the issues were larger, isolation was becoming more the norm as with the position.Drugs more evident, plus the gang culture was well established, better developed, longer traditions then previous.
Moved for short while work along side the ,`Church Army`, guy role included title,` Corporal,` that l did not approve of.
Army . . come on, he was useless as community worker.
But as l was learning he had accent and education that suited the Church.
We had the best music and played
loud using drama,and music had some great occasions.
Schools work where `hangin around `during dinner times and play periods.
There been a near killing of member of staff.
so l was drafted into difficult issue.
took nearly year of just hangin around to gain credibility.
But was also active on streets of Anfield.
However we suffered from under investment.
developed despite this, formed some great relationships.
