On the weekend we talked through two images of faith; one the coded and densely packed allegorical vision of Jan Vermeer from 1623, and the other more contemporary: I wonder especially what the modern one says about faith as a corporate enterprise, well anchored, but intensely involving and liberating...

I am banged up having my annual reality check at Saint Wandrille, Normandy, until Saturday 08 November. This entry has been preposted. The internet is switched firmly off for the week, and I will be delighted to respond to comments, but only at the weekend.

Greetings Alan
Hope the retreat was refreshing in every sense. I'm just sorting out my own - with the Benedictines in Ireland who are linked with Bec in Normandy

Just off to France, David. I could really do with the de-coke this year! I hope to come back with a few nuggets of stuff... and hope and pray you have a really good time back in the Emerald Isle.
