On a Friday morning, I walked into a room full of young
women. They sat in desks arranged in a circle, with a habited
Sister amongst them mediating discussion. The discussion was even
in tone, conversational, intelligent. The women were discussing a
text, to which they referred regularly, highlighting passages, and
raising points or questions that moved the conversation forward. No
one argued. The other women in the room listened intently to
whomever was speaking. They read each other's body language, and
waited until the speaker completed her point before anyone else
chimed in.
