St Andrew's Church Bangalore - Stained glass
 |
The Stained glass panels were brought in from Scotland. Bottom left to right- Abraham with his staff, Moses with the 2 ten commandment tablets, King David with his harp and the prophet Isaiah. Middle left to right- St Andrew with the cross of St Andrew, St Peter, St Paul and St John. Top Jesus seated on a throne with the symbols alpha and omega on his left and right. |
 |
| Central Aisle of the church |
 |
| The Stained glass is flanked by the 10 commandments on the left and the LORD's prayer on the right. The alter stands below a small plaque lies beneath the stained glass. In keeping with the Presbyterian tradition the alter is not elaborately decorated. |
St Andrew's Church is amongst the oldest churches in Bangalore . I have tried to capture the beauty of the stained glass which is almost as old as the church.

The Right to Health and Sexuality by Dr Akshay Khanna
This is a link to paper I found by Dr Akshay Khanna. its focus is the Indian scenario and the rather narrow categories that define sexual behaviour and its limited understanding in policy making.

Talk by China Mills at NIMHANS (National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences), Bangalore
Title
Rufus May is a clinical psychologist/ psychiatry survivor
A short documentary by Undercurrents & Melissa Gunasena
Silencing the Voices in your Head? Alternative understandings of Hearing Voices.
Abstract
This workshop will explore alternative approaches to understanding the experience of, and working with people who, hear voices, see visions and have unusual beliefs. The workshop will draw upon research by China Mills on the experience of children and young people who hear voices; on the possibilities of understanding and locating distress within people's own frames of reference and their life history, calling for multiple ways of understanding and responding to distress; and on the concept of the 'survivor' within critical psychiatry. We will explore what it can be like to hear voices; and use stories from people who hear voices to engage with self help, coping strategies and the possibilities of recovery.
There are power point slides as well contact me if you want them.
