I am sitting here in a dorm room at Clarke University in Dubuque, Iowa, where the International Meeting of Lay Cistercians is taking place. Every three years, just before the General Chapter of Cistercian monks and nuns (we are the only religious order that has men and women meet together for purposes of governance), the lay communities meet. You can read about this at this web site: http://www.cistercianfamily.org/ (For some reason I do not have the little button available to add a link.)
These meetings are an opportunity for groups from all over the world to share experiences. There are three major languages that are used and I am here to translate from French to English.
The weather has been comfortable, cool at night and warm (not hot) during the day. The grass is very green.
