Funny Bones

'Humour: a means of communication, an aid to making life bearable, a channel for creating a cathartic experience, a way of facing that which is in essence tragic, an effective way to challenge others.'
Our contributors explore these issues, acknowledging the crucial rôle humour plays in our lives in terms of our own self-awareness and growth, but most particularly in our relationships with one another and with God.
