Friday = Edge

Last Friday would normally have been the opening of our Edge Semester - yet we were Snow Tubing last week - because of the Snow storm on February 8th!
So all of that shifting around would make TONIGHT the opening of the semester - but hold on there - Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation last week - so we have an Edge night on the Papacy!
We will look at B16 (as he is known in the blogosphere!) and at the process for the election of a new Pope.

Here are some interesting - Fun Facts - About B16:

• Kelly Clarkson sang for Pope Benedict XVI
• He has a pilot license for the Papal Helicopter but does not have a driver’s license or know how to drive a car
• He can speak 7 languages
• He enjoys playing the piano and listens to Mozart and Bach
• He loves cats and has two of his own (one was a stray he found in Rome)
• He still has one of the stuffed animals his mother made for him.

(I don't even know Kelly Clarkson!)

Tonight about 60 of our High School Youth are involved in "Just Fast" (Part of the larger Development and Peace "Think Fast" movement).  I'll drop in there with Stephanie at the end of the Edge Night!

Peace
