Total Ministry Seminar starts tomorrow! The folders are all ready for the participants, the room has been arranged, nametags and placetags are ready. Matins and mass are at 7 am tomorrow and then we are off running.
Today was a pretty laid back day. It started with breakfast in the refectory, progressing to meeting Codrington College Principal Dr Ian Rock; working out the final details of the seminar; getting an historical tour of the college; and generally being ready for the big day tomorrow. This afternoon was spent napping and reading.
This evening we had the pleasure of meeting some of the workshop participants who flew in from various other islands. We spoke with Bishop Robert Thompson who introduced the idea for Total Ministry as an option for the Anglican Province of the West Indies to explore. We have met participants from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and one of the other dioceses.
One of the Trinidadian attendees connected our names with a physics professor he had years ago when he was a student at the University of the West Indies (UWI). That was my dad, Louis Fay. He taught Physics at UWI, St. Augustine from 1968 to 1973. The gentleman knew of my mother, Dr Alice Fay, a professor over in chemistry, but had never taken a class from her. It is a small and wonderful world.
Pictures to follow when I get the opportunity to download them.
Please keep us in your prayers.
