It's an awfully compelling film, and the monks don't come across as at all intolerant.<BR/><BR/>Of course, they're silent for about 99% of the film. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Really, it's a great film. Highly recommended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-906518039229309642007-05-11T19:15:00.000-04:002007-05-11T19:15:00.000-04:00I used to have a friend who was a Catholic nun.

When we went to an Earth Fair together she greeted the booth full of Hindu nuns as long lost sisters -- she said they were the same as her; "fellow religious" was the phrase she used. She seemed to think that a nun is a nun -- if you have dedicated your life to God, it didn't matter what you called God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-17438882212825236202007-05-11T04:23:00.000-04:002007-05-11T04:23:00.000-04:00My friend Jen, who is a Christian and has spent th...My friend Jen, who is a Christian and has spent the last decade or so working on behalf of people with HIV/AIDS. When she's in the U.S., she's doing public health work and running fundraising marathons; when she's not in the U.S., she's helping orphans in South African and Cambodia. And she is so much fun -- loves to dance, and she's the one who got me to go on my first (and so far only) camping trip.<BR/><BR/>People like her completely humble me. I think that's what the Episcopalians have in mind when they say that instead of directly evangelizing, Episcopalians should live in such a way that people approach *them* to find out what has made them so joyful.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-60451584124094161152007-05-10T22:41:00.000-04:002007-05-10T22:41:00.000-04:00See?
