Dear Friends,

This is all new to me — digital cameras, website possibilities, etc. — but I have arranged to cybertravel some of these photos on my new camera via The Anglican Centre in Rome on this first leg of my time in Italy before the course in Greece. I am grateful for the help of The Anglican Centre and some new friends on our course here for facilitating this more instant form of communication.

Here are some photos of Assisi and St. Francis preaching to the birds, the Holy Spirit window at St. Peter's in Rome, a closeup of the Pope from our vantage point at The Papal General Audience in St. Peter's Square, and a photo of our group from The Anglican Centre in Rome at a reception at the residence of the British Ambassador to the Holy See (the Vatican).

I am off Monday to Greece for my course on Saint Paul there, but think of you often as I engage in this wonderful pilgrimage to our roots as Christians!

My love in Christ,
Ned
