Every two weeks a group of us priests and lay people meet for two hours to discuss a theology book. Currently we are going through a book by an Irish theologian, Diarmuid O’Murchu who presents some challenging ideas about God and about humanity’s place in creation. Today for the first time we met at Nazareth Home Clifton in the lobby of the independent living building where the priests live.
This kind of gathering is really difficult in Cambodia because almost none of the laity would have the background in theology to participate and discussing a book in English would also present a big problem.
