Raj and I went to work today and set up a month's worth of activity. June is going to be a busy time with the Trust! We agreed what we needed to talk through and work on and when we are going to focus on what area. All good stuff. We agreed (as I mentioned yesterday) a list of what we want out of our time here and our lists were vertually identical!!We started to look at a leadership academy programme for 11-13th July. based at a place called the NBCLC. We went there for our chats today and I stupidly asked what these letters stand for and got this answer:
The National Biblical Catechetical and Liturgical Centre!!
Anyway, it's a it's a Catholic retreat centre with a whole loads of resident Nuns but a place where they are 100% engaged with the community and open to people just walking in and using the place.
We met the Father who started just a few weeks agi in charge of the place for about 10 mins. Talk about a quality guy. Just says a few words and it leaves you gobsmacked! He said we are welcome to use the place at any time for peace and quiet/prayer etc.
It's a gorgeous place and best of all is that it is 5 mins walk (literally) from our house. Raj and I plan to meet there to chat and I think I will be up there a fair bit too when I get time. Need some peace in this mad City!!
