The assembly laughed yet again."By the way, even if it is laughing, do it as educated persons" the shepherd said comically, leaving the congregation falling off with more laughter. He had spoken for close to twenty minutes, and even the heavy eyed could not doze off.
"…they knew the man to go for." a Christian next to me interrupted my listening.
"…this bishop is very down to earth, I like him." the fellow concluded. I shook off my head not to hear any more of his whispering to his neighbour. |

In this way, one enters into a dynamic of “receiving” and “giving”, in a reciprocal relationship which enables growth through dialogue, mutual trust and the discovery and recognition of our differences.” (XI GC 56). From 24-29 November 2008, the Ethiopian region IMC members were gathered in Galilee Centre (Jesuits centre) for the annual retreat. |
