This morning, shortly before 6, I realised that I could hear drumming and chanting. I wondered if it were a figment of my imagination, but standing at the window, I could hear it more distinctly, though wherever the drummer was, they were out of my line of vision. It was a delightful welcome to the day. There's a group from Kairos also meeting on campus (saw the signs directing them to the Conference Centre), so perhaps this was part of their programme. Whatever the reason, I enjoyed it.
I wanted to update the photos, but yesterday morning my camera batteries were dead, and this morning it was raining (a leftover from yesterday afternoon). But it cleared by lunchtime, though there are still dark clouds around. So here are some photo updates:
That's just outside the dining room/cafeteria. (Did I mention that this is the Mennonite church college????? You do know about Mennonites and cooking, don't you? The meals have been wonderful!)
Conrad Grebel Univerity College viewed from the path that leads to the university campus.
Across Laurel Creek to campus.
The classroom during lunch break -- proof that some of us were actually in the Great Hall for the sessions (or at least could find out way during lunch break!)Class is about to resume so I'll post later. And probably not before tomorrow, or perhaps even not till Saturday I'll try to share more of the content of the course and/or some of the thoughts it has inspired. It seems to me that this could be an effective way of communicating when I'm not available in person, to keep us up to date and on track with what could possibly influence our future.
