For the pioneers of this new blog, this September is the time we began using our new blog. And just this morning a new member was added to our group. His name is Brother John Mary Lugemwa, orginally from Uganda and presently a member of Mary, Mother of the Church Abbey in Richmond, Virginia, and studying at St John's Abbey in Collegeville.
Folks, to see how well this blog is working, I would like to generate our first discussion. Who will be invited to participate in the blog?
Do we admit only internationals, i.e., "minorities", or is it open to anyone who wishes to share the blog? What is the purpose of the blog?
Is it a vehicle of communication primarily for international Benedictine only or for members of other Orders also?
As we agreed at our first meeting, we shall attempt to forge a strong bond among us throughout the year, not just at ABA time. Peace, Allen.

The beginning of the Septmeber has been very busy already in our community here in Norfolk, NE. The Labor Day truly was a labor day for many of us here.
When I first heard of the 'international' group at ABA, I was expecting to see whoever was interested in the 'topic' matter. Therefore, I was surprised to see only the 'minorities' at the meeting. I would like to see not only internationals but whoever is willing to spend time and energy to understand 'other cultures.'
Hopefully, I would get to here more perspetives on this matter.
Peace, Sr. Jeremias
