Yesterday we spent a few hours with the Sisters of the Love of God at Fairacres, Oxford. These lovely Anglican nuns will be well-known to many because of their publications and the scholarly work of Sr Benedicta Ward. However, we visited in order to discuss matters of common interest and visit their press rather than anything very high fallutin'. We received a warm welcome, and even Duncan found a friend in the community who took him for a long walk in the grounds while "they" discussed monastic use of the internet and similar weighty matters. It was good to be able to pray and eat together as well as talk. Take a look at the community web site here and their soon-to-be-relaunched press web site here. Digitalnun committed a few sins of envy of the space and light available in their publications room but was able to be genuinely sympathetic about the absence of storage space. It is a universal problem: there is never enough room for everything.

We are planning our next online virtual chapter, so if you would like to suggest a theme, please do so. (We upgraded our Broadband service recently and discovered new problems with our VOIP connection, hence the delay. The problems are not quite sorted out but we remain optimistic we shall be able to hold a chapter very soon.)
