Order Meeting

The annual spring meeting of the Amida Order this year took place at Bolsover in Derbyshire at the home of Joy Marston. Twelve of the 14 members were present. It was a happy gathering with discussion ranging over the current and prospective situation of the Amida-shu and its work. No major decisions were taken but there was a general sense of strengthening of relationships and valuable sharing of experience. This meeting is now part of an annual cycle of meetings that review the life of the religious community and its work in many spheres. New order members Mudita and Tony were attending for the first time. Modgala (in France) and Sudana (travelling back from Zambia) were not present this time, but a phone link kept Modgala in the loop for most things.
