In the midst of a beautiful spring in England the members and staff of the General Assembly (GA) arrived in London. On Tuesday April 21 the group travelled to the Emmaus Center in West Wickham. Society Coordinator, Agnes Lanfermann, welcomed the  GA membership.

The GA began with a prayer of gratitude not only for the goodness experienced but also for the gifts received in the difficult and challenging experiences of their lives. "We prayed: May thanksgiving overflow in our heart and often be proclaimed in our prayer.”

The sisters in London opened their homes and enjoyed the various encounters with sisters from all parts of the world. Together they dived into English history during a day trip to Canterbury to visit the cathedral and listen to the Canterbury tales.
