1994 - our difficulties, bitterness of our own community; Cardinal's Exit from Synod - words of St Benedict, Vincent Nichols words from Synod (insert); The 'Anglican' Brethren - received into full communion; Retirement - preparations increasing; Charisms - notable development of charisms in the religious, formidable team of parish sister, deacon and priest, pray deeply for our casualties
Inserted page: "From the Synod of Bishops 1994" - [by Vincent Nichols dated 11 December 1994], Synod is non-stop work, two-thirds of synod are in consecrated life, a church without consecrated life is incomplete, evangelical vows in different settings, month long meeting is an awesome prospect
