Narrative theory and practice is an evolving field focusing on using the power of personal stories to explore the effects those stories have on personal and group perspectives, iden- C C h os a t p e t ll e o r . pr C e h s a id p e te n r t p E a ll s e tp n r P e a si r d k e e n o t f J f i e m rs W at h o a k le e n n i C n l v u it b e f d la M g r t . o C g os u t e e s ll t o sp to ea s k p e e r a P k. aul tity development, and future growth. By harnessing the power of those personal journeys and the lessons learned along the way, the Center’s vision is to bridge the gap between cultures and conflicts. Mr. Costello transformed narrative theory into practice by directing the Washington-Ireland Program from 1998 to 2008. Through this program, the Center brought together young persons from both sides of the Northern Ireland conflict to share their stories of conflict and tragedy, helping the participants to find common linkages between the groups and individuals, thereby breaking down damaging stereotypes and building a prologue to a new shared story. The U.S. Congress and the Northern Ireland Assembly publicly recognized his efforts to build peace between the groups through nar- rative practice. The Center has expanded the program to focus on South Africa reconciliation, and this year added in a program to bring Israeli and Palestinian young people together to build additional narrative Speaker Paul Costello talks about narrative platforms for peace and recognition. theory and practice.

Paul Costello is an educator and writer from Australia, where he has worked for many years de- veloping curriculum and method in Creative Writ- ing and Religious Education. In more recent years, his work has involved homeless youth where he founded Rosies – Friends on the Street, a youth-to- youth volunteer corps that continues to work in six major cities along Australia's east coast. Inspired by his study with the founder of Narrative Therapy, Michael White, Paul came to the USA to research narrative method and its application to pastoral counseling, education and community renewal. Since moving to the USA, Paul has worked with communities and organizations that are in transi- tion, gathering their stories and helping them grieve and move on. He also worked for 5 years with the Shalem Institute for Spirituality where he was part of their unique Group Spiritual Direction Program, and he currently offers spiritual direction to individuals and groups. He has been a guest lecturer at many colleges, including American University, Catholic Univer- sity, Trinity College, Loyola College, UVA and Queens University Belfast. He currently directs the Washington-Ireland Program for Service and Leadership (formerly called the Young Leaders Program) that brings over 30 university students from Northern Ireland and Ireland to the USA each summer. He is Founding Director of the Center for Narrative Studies, and holds degrees in Literature, Theology, Education and Creative Writing. Paul is an enthusiast and perpetual student of the narrative idea. He is pursuing projects that harness the new web technology because he believes the web can help resurrect the story circles that used to lie at the heart of vibrant community life, and become an exciting new way to connect people.

~ CHA RTIN G   TH E COURSE   ~ Dear Fellow Circumnavigators, I hope you are all enjoying a pleasant fall. We are pleased and honored that Simon Winchester, the noted British writer who now lives in Massachusetts and Scotland, has accepted the Magellan Award, the Club’s highest honor, awarded to him for his significant contributions to liter- ature and international understanding. The Magellan Award will be presented to Mr. Winchester at a gala black-tie dinner at the Union League Club in New York on December 10, 2010, so please mark your calendar! Board members Anne Hughes and Howard Matson were instrumental in making contact with Mr. Winchester to extend the invitation, and we are grateful for their efforts. Our Chapters have been active. The cool weather here in New York City makes me think of Florida, and our Chapters there – Miami, Naples, and Palm Beach – all are gearing up for the season, as is our Desert Chapter in Arizona. The Washington DC Chapter had their annual joint dinner with the Explorers Club Washington Group, which was well attended. Helen Jenkins, President of the United Kingdom Chapter, reports that the holiday luncheon at the House of Lords in December is oversubscribed and the Chapter has had to resort to a waiting list. The House of Lords luncheon is a wonderful event in London, and new member/Magellan Award recipient Michael Palin plans to attend. Our Chapters in Chicago, Michigan, the Pacific Northwest, the Pacific Southwest, and Singapore have all had interesting activities and meetings. The New York metropolitan group was delighted recently to receive a visit from Naples Chapter members Barbara and Bill Roy and Jill and Bob Augustine, who gave a fascinating illustrated account of Iran, then and now. Yes, we have great times in this Club, particularly at gatherings when we get together and exchange tales of the many experiences we have had in this vast and interesting world. It is my duty to report, however, that our membership has been declining for the last several years and the board is actively looking for ways to increase membership. New applications are vital, and we ask all of our members to invite their well-traveled friends to our gatherings and to join our ranks. This is a unique and wonderful organization, and membership is a privilege that we wish to share with others!
