Saturday Afternoon

On Saturday afternoon, we tackled the two new options for reconfiguration which all Sisters had been sent in the mail a month prior.

  • A presentation by Sr. Connie Shoen (Oxford) reviewed and clarified the options before our table discussions, where we offered recommendations for refinement, and large group sharing.
  • After our discussions, we participated in a large-group activity designed to help us further in processing the options. We all were asked to choose a card to indicate the option for which we felt personally more supportive (or to hold both cards or no cards). We then were to walk the room and find another Sister -- preferably one we didn't know or didn't know well -- indicating a position different from our own and to talk with her about her views.
  • After a hard day's work, we celebrated Eucharist together and then a wonderful dinner.
