Nuns go Green

Our eye has been caught by a most charming story.

The benedictine nuns at Stanbrook Abbey in the UK are an enclosed contemplative order, but this has not prevented them being aware of developments in the chaotic world outside their walls.

Looking at the theories of global warming, and at the appalling cost of heating their ancient abbey buildings, they made the decision to relocate to a brand new eco-abbey in the North of England.

And in order to raise additional funds they have been holding garage sales of their surplus books and other non-essential items.

Let us hope that leaders of your secular world take note of this example.

In hopes of a more secure tomorrow.
