Enter Choplin, and view these clips. I vote for Pope Sophie-Veronique Cauchefer-Choplin! I don't think the Curia would go for that! This is the face of Roman Catholicism that I like! The Great Controversy and Fox's Book of Martyrs part is the side I hate! Albert Schweitzer took lessons from Widor on this organ! If you go to Saint Sulpice, watch out for Silas!

Go to YouTube.com, and enter organ improvisation daniel roth, and click the picture at the top, to see what I mean! It's hard to go back to the praise songs after that!

Anyway, he started a new order in the Anglican church called the "Order of Mission." All those that join it must take a vow of "simplicity, purity, and accountability." (These, according to Breen is analogous to the vows of poverty, celibacy, and obedience" that priests and some monastics take.) I know, that's not monasticism exactly, but a start? Anyway, I found the whole concept fascinating and appealing... On a slightly different note, do you think of instituitions like Weimar, Hartland, Wildwood, Uchee Pines, etc. would qualify as Adventist monastic communities? =) Julius, I took a course at Fuller from a guy named Michael Breen.

About 5,000 mostly young people flooded to the picturesque site in the village of Taizé in rural France. It was the peak week of the year. English is the common language. I was amazed that a community centred around "brothers" (not "monks") would draw so many liberal young Europeans. The music is heavenly. I spent a week at the Taizé Community this year.
