So happy to see that someone finally made an entry on the conversations section of the website. I enjoyed your account of what has been happening in the Netherlands. I still have vivid memories of our assembly there...it was so powerful in so many ways. I especially loved learning about the Beguines, whom I now consider trailblazers for the sfcc concept. Here In the US there is a new program called Nuns and Nones. https://www.nunsandnones.org/ I really want to suggest they introduce the Beguines to these young people who want a spiritual lifestyle without vows. I am happy to read that some women religious in Europe are finding us. The website is starting to have an impact. In our region, Sophia, we are blessed with 2 sisters from Africa and one from Spain. I love the diversity. I collaborate with an sfcc who lives nearby, Lea Anne Hunter, on a post-Vatican ll blog that has reached more than 60 countries including the Netherlands. ritebeyondrome.com . Lea Anne has undying faith that Vatican ll can live again, even here in America. I just try to maintain some hope.
