CANCER PAGE DEDICATION - This page is dedicated to Audre and Olive, whose lives ended prematurely through cancer. Also to all of us, with cancer or cancer free, who are supporting friends and family with this disease or have lost friends and family as a consequence. .

The quote below by Audre, underpins my thoughts on Western Christianity and its religious organisations. It tells me where to look for meaningful change and where I can find effective support.

Audre Lorde

For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the master's house as their only source of support - Audre Lorde. [Her Biography]

Olive Morris

Olive Morris
As a founder of the Brixton Black Women's Group, I owe Olive a debt of gratitude. If I had not been a member of this group, I would not have developed a fuller and healthier sense of my blackness as an English Jamaican woman. Neither would I have developed a commitment to a form of political activism that holds at its root, the principle of social justice, that is often lacking in religious organisations.
