Ethics in our daily doings

Compass is Australia's only religion, ethics and social values TV program.

It has reflected and explored belief, faith, values and the search for meaning through personal stories, documentaries and debate since 1988.

Compass airs for 30 minutes on Saturday nights at 6.00 pm and is repeated on Sundays at 11am, with a third screening on Fridays at 10:30am. You can also choose to watch the program on ABC iview. The Compass website offers an archive of programs and transcripts. You can also take part in our dynamic social media community, by following us on Facebook or Twitter.

This week on Compass they are talking ethics.  An Australian family, the Easthopes, attempt to redefine the way they live, making ethical choices about how they travel and what they eat.  

Part of the show is a visit from Costa Georgiadis of ABC's Gardening Australia -

because growing our own is part of an ethical lifestyle.

Poetry, Music, Food, and an Ancient Oak conclude The Tree of Life Project

To-morrow, Saturday - from 2pm-4pm, 

there will Poetry at The Known World Bookshop, 

14 Sturt Street, Ballarat. 

(a bookshop to die for!). 

Local published Ballarat poets Barry Breen, Ross Gillett, and Lorraine McGuigan will entertain you. The Known World is a wonderful experience so please take note of the books. You may even want to purchase one or two. 

And the TKW chatelaine Michelle does lovely coffee and bikkies too. All this is part of Ballarat Interfaith Network's The Tree of Life Project - Ballarat's all-inclusive, end-of-year, community-wide celebration.

Then it will be a dash over to the Ballarat Botanical Gardens for The Finale - singing from Like Honey (from Geelong), food, and perhaps a visit to the Druid's Oak planted in 1870!

See you there!
