Multi-cultural day



What a variety of cultures we had today. We have been having lectures from Sr Manuela Scheiba a German nun from near Berlin. She has been giving outstanding lectures on the Rule of Benedict - an amzing mixture of scholarship and down to earth spirituality. Interspersed in the lectures she had us dancing to Egypt music and Jewish music. Well, that set the Indians off and for Vespers we sang the Our Father in Indian with Sr Alice doing an Indian dance of worship.

Then us Aussies went out for tea in the local suburb of Pisana at a Italian restuarant run by Chinese. Then we went for gelato up the street. These signs come from the shop next door. Well you have all heard how Italy is a centre for art, beauty, culture...
..

What can I say!
