He noted that the article talks about "continuing prudence" - like in our garden after the service, where people don't hurry, but just look at the blooming beets, waiting for them to become preschoolers.

Yes, “continuing discernment” reminds me of our neighbors in Tripoli after Mass, when they sit quietly talking about the past year and don’t decide anything quickly. These suggestions from Nairobi and Cairo can be useful if they really help build trust, but I think time and patience are more important.

Yes, “continuing discernment” reminds me of when we go for a walk with my mother in the hills around Homs after the evening prayer. We sit for a while and don’t rush to decide which way to go back. The suggestions from Nairobi and Cairo seem useful if they actually help build trust, but as Nicola said, time and patience are more important.

Nicola, I laughed at your comparison to the neighbors of Tripoli after Mass. In fact, we sit and talk quietly and do not rush. I think that these suggestions can help if we use them in small meetings between churches here, not just as general talk. Have you tried something similar in Tripoli?

Yes, I like the idea of walking in the hills after evening prayers. It makes a person think quietly. I also think that the suggestions are useful if we apply them in small groups here in Beirut, but I agree with you that patience is the most important thing, especially when there are old disputes. Did you and your mother try a certain method that helped you come back faster?
