The March conversation is with Denis Andrew OCarm. We will consider modern Western society which has been described as being increasingly secular. In this session we will look at how we live our Carmelite life in this milieu. We take the opportunity to delve into the writings of contemporary Carmelite Ruth Burrows [Sr Rachel Gregory OCD], who died last year at the age of 100. A tribute to her published in THE TABLET suggested she “can justifiably be considered a Teresa of Avila of our era.” (18 November 2023)
