    CIBI CONTACT News from the Carmelite Institute of Britain & Ireland - June 2011 www.cibi.ie CARMELITES LEARNING WITH AND FROM EACH OTHER The Carmelite Institute of Britain & Ireland (CIBI) is a wonderful example of the collaboration and sharing that exists between the various different expressions of the Carmelite charism. In recent years the formation of new Carmelites - be they friars, enclosed nuns, active sisters or lay people - has benefitted from increased interaction between different groups within the Carmelite Family. This year there have been a number of initiatives bringing Carmelites together. In April 2011 a joint meeting took place for novice Carmelite friars and their directors of both the Ancient (O.Carm.) and Discalced (O.Carm.) observances, at Abbotswick House of Prayer in the English diocese of Brentwood. Over the course of five days the novices had the opportunity to learn more about the life and writings of St. John of the Cross from Fr. Matthew Blake, O.C.D. Those present shared their stories and experiences of Carmel within their respective branches of the Order, and a spirit of fraternity pervaded the gathering. Important seeds were planted and it is hoped that more such meetings will take place in the future. The novices have also received input in Ireland from a good number of CIBI tutors. The O.Carm. and O.C.D. novice friars were joined at Abbotswick by Frs. Joseph Chalmers, O.Carm. (3rd from left), Matthew Blake, O.C.D. (4th from left) and Liam Finnerty, O.C.D. (2nd from right). Interaction between different Carmelite vocations was also seen on a recent visit made by the novice friars of the Ancient Observance to the northern English city of York.
