To catch up on my previous post at the beginning of the Symposium: Fr
Nesbitt's second lecture discussed the question of the mission of Christ as a struggle against the kingdom of Satan, a New Testament theme that is often neglected. The discussion
focussed particularly on the question of the relationship of angels and demons to the order of material creation and the place of the created spirits in the overall economy of God.
I mentioned also that it was Fr David
Standen's 50
th birthday. Cakes and champagne all round to fete the man who arranged all the practical details for us and helped us to eat at various points rather than continue discussing philosophy and theology
ad infinitum. Below, Fr Dylan James is kneeling at a coffee table and breaking cake to share. It might appear as though he has become enamoured of creative liturgy during his time in Rome but I hope that you can see that this is all harmless in the context of the celebrations for Fr
Standen.

Oh no! I can feel an addition to the Rituale Wagamamense taking shape ...
You all seemed to be enjoying yourself. Are you sure you were all there on a conference and having serious dicussions and talks? LOL.
Ah but there are serious discussion photos in there as well. Can't you see the philosophy oozing from Fr Hugh?
It seems there was a mixture of enjoyment and serious discussions taking place. I agree, there does appear to be philosophy oozing from Fr Hugh
