Next week`s TV promises to have at least one interesting programme.........#
The BBC is screening part one of a series of programmes filmed at a RC Poor Clare convent in Sussex, with four women staying at the enclosed order convent for forty days.
The women have a variety of backgrounds, from an Evangelical recovering alcoholic to a free-thinking, free-living, open-relationship, avowed atheistic poet who believes that the Commandments are outmoded.
It should be interesting to see how the good Sisters manage to relate to that latter woman whose life is so much at variance with their own, and from those of most other layfolk who are religious adherents.
The Beeb has obviously chosen the latter woman for shock value :-)

Elizabeth, this TV show is going to require you to post a regular update on it on a weekly basis! This reader wants to know how it goes!
As do I.
And I'm still waiting for our BBC-equivalent to tell me when they are going to show The Monastery down here: after reading about it when it was on, I want to see it. Hopefully The Convent will make it down here too.
