Always good to read you.<BR/><BR/>JohnieB, prayers for your continued healing and well-being, and for all veterans of wars, of all ages and generations. I think you'd like the SSJE brothers and place. I used to go to their open weekday Eucharist, long before I ever became an Anglican; the first in a series of wonderful relationships with Anglican religious orders.<BR/><BR/>I'm really happy and grateful for the conversations taking place about the effects of war -- during Vietnam, as most of your remember, it was a whole other story, or rather, there weren't enough stories. <BR/><BR/>This is indeed a good thing, and what a perfect ministry for a monastery. They also welcome workers for peace. A place of refuge for all with attention to the concerns and lives of each.Jane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814517077774999407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-64866213824304732842007-07-14T16:53:00.000-04:002007-07-14T16:53:00.000-04:00What a wonderful work that the monks and Capt.

Prior Aelred? Brother Tobias? I do not wish to be the occasion of sin for anyone.<BR/><BR/>You also made several good suggestions, as I now re-collect; I have much to ponder.johniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635403219973766022noreply@blogger.com
