vee Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Id be terrible at being a missionary overseas when I can hardly be a decent Christian to those around me now. Besides my own supposedly Christian homeland needs to be re-evangelized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 if I lived anywhere else but America, I'm sure I'd be crossing the oceans/continents/icesheets to get here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithLuin Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) I'm willing to cross an ocean...but I recognize that there are extra challenges in adapting to a religious community of a different culture. It's not that it isn't a beautiful experience, it's that...there's that extra dimension of being a 'foreigner' in the new culture. So, as long as folks are aware of that, I think it's great for the universal church to have multi-national convents . And to add to the 'been there, done that,' list, we have our very own Sadora! She should be coming back for a home visit soon, so hopefully we'll get to hear what she thinks of following your vocation across an ocean.
