Newsletter 6 (or Letters from the field): 15th March 2026 – ChristiaanMcCann.Com
This week I watched Pete run the free clothes store again. He lays the clothes out carefully, almost like a small department shop — jackets together, shirts folded, shoes lined up. People arrive and begin browsing. For a moment it looks completely ordinary. Except everything is free.

The Difference Between a Gesture and a Table
FNB Hobart isn’t built on gestures. It’s built on a table — hot food, 1pm every Saturday, placed there by community and shared face-to-face. There are two ways to engage: you can gesture, or you can come to the table.
