...for the School of the Annunciation, at Buckfast Abbey in Devon.The academic staff,in an impressive array of robes, walked in procession, there was glorious singing, and a good attendance of people from across Britain...and afterwards there was a delicious lunch and lots of lively talk...a most enjoyable day.
Sadly, Archbishop Fisichella from Rome was ill and unable to attend, but his lecture was read by the Rector, and there';ll be a copy on the School's website in due course.
During the afternoon I took along some books for the Library - we've all been invited to make donations. I brought a selection from home, hoping this might relieve the pressure on the groaning bookshelves of the Bogle family...which it has, but only marginally...
The School is flourishing and looks set to play an important role in the Church and in the world of education over the next years. Events in the next months include short courses on Foundations of Philiosophy for Faith, Sacred Art and the New Evangelisation, Media and the New Evangelisation, and Ecclesiastical Latin...and there are Summer Schools on Scripture, Liturgy, and Apologetics, among other topics. Further courses in catechetics start in the Autumn, together with a Diploma course in the New Evangelisation...
