Non-Violence and MK Legends

This past week we had a three day work shop on Non-Violent communication. The workshop was run by three lovely ladies. They are all retired and sweet grandmotherly types, but all have a quick sense of humor. They usually run this workshop in prisons or in juvenile detention centers, so for them it was an interesting experience as well. Later in the week we discussed "Mission Ecclesiology with Rev. John Walsh, who has done a presentation for every class of Mary knoll lay mission candidates for the past 35 years. There must be a misprint in all of his books because they say that he entered this world in 1913. I admire how strong the minds are of all the sisters brothers and priests that I have met despite all the struggles and challenges they have faced over the years. 

Last night we pressed apples, and so I had hot apple cider with breakfast this morning. I am finishing packing because we are headed off to DC early tomorrow morning. We will be back the following Sunday and so I will tell about the adventures of the week at that time.
