Sunday
Morning
 Saturday
morning began with a continental breakfast, followed by the morning
session. We found ourselves back in the original table configurations
we had on Friday, with random groupings of Sisters.
- We began with a brief opening prayer to call us to the day, which
included a meditation accompanied by the song "Holy Ground."
- This morning we all received packets
of compiled information from the previous day's work. (A group
of Sisters had worked the previous day and evening to synthesize all
the table reports from the three Saturday sessions). Their distribution
included the disclaimer that it was a rough sketch of the input, just
to give us a general idea of what was shared at the i
 ndividual
tables. We were informed that the Reconfiguration Subcommittee would
work with the original table sheets in the coming weeks to mold and
refine the options before our summer
congregational meetings.
- We took time to read and reflect on the compiled information, then
shared as tables and recorded any further questions or input we wanted
to submit to the CCC and to the Reconfiguration subcommittee.
- Most of the morning was
 dedicated
to large group sharing. The floor was opened to any individual who
felt compelled to share with the entire group her thoughts or feelings
on the weekend or on the process in general. What followed was a moving
display of honesty and candor, with both positive and negative comments
shared across the floor.
- We finished the morning with a ritual
of sending forth. The meeting adjourned a bit later than planned,
to allow time for the important sharing that morning within the large
group. Most Sisters traveled home that afternoon and evening.
