The Convent

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 :-)
