The Vox Clara Committee just completed its twenty-sixth meeting. To escape the Roman heat we met at a thirteenth century Carthusian monastery (noun conference center owned by the University of Siena): Certosa Pontignano in Siena. Our time was spent reviewing ICEL Green Books for Orders for Baptism of Infants and the Christian Initiation of Adults and the Rites for the blessing of oils, all told reviewing 643 pages of documentation!
