[RivCompanions] applications

[Susie Danielsson]

Dear Companions,
The Motherhouse today received the applications for postulancy from a
married couple from Memphis.  I don't know why they were sent here rather
than to Emmaus Chapter, but I think it may be good for all of us to take a
look and discern how to proceed.

They are Lori and Charles Miller.  They have been attending Saturday nights
in Memphis since June.  He is a retired Presbyterian minister and she is an
active lay person.  They both are involved with several outreach projects
in Memphis, including the street ministry of St. Mary's Cathedral.  They've
moved from city to city over the years and have very much wanted to have a
community, and indeed have always either found one where they were or
started some sort of small group of Christians.  They both state that they
want to discern whether Rivendell is the community for them.  Personally, I
like that way of thinking.  They aren't coming at it as if they already
KNOW.

They are both 68 and have been married since 1965, having two grown sons.

I'm not sure how Virginia does the scanning of applications to send to you
all, so I will wait until she returns from Houston.

Anyway, I will email both of them with copies to Murray to let them know we
have their applications.  Any comments from Emmaus Chapter?

Love to all on this hot summer day.
Susie
