Eighty lay leaders from the Church of St Ignatius learnt that teamwork is about opening their hearts and minds. Parish priest Fr Lawrence Ng, CDD, told the leaders at the start of the three-day retreat that “the Church is not a building but you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, as the salt of the earth and light of the world.” Assisting Fr Lawrence was Fr Martin Then, CDD.

Each group had to get its members inside the tent once it was pitched. When the smaller tents could not fit all, Fr Lawrence encouraged the leaders to always unlock their creativity to enlarge the given space and “never to give up easily in our desire to be inclusive”. Their connection with their items was written down and presented for all to see and for the leaders to know one another better.
