Bethany Place will soon celebrate its 30th.year of truly gracing not only the Municipality of the District of Digby, but environs near and far.An amazing grace indeed has befallen the people of Digby County.
The two Religious women minister unflappably in each and every situation- to all who come to their door:the poor,the destitute,the needy,the lonely,the body-broken, and the sick at heart.
What "fuels" them? Thirty years is a very long time. They are no "fly-by-nighters!" Of course, their nurture comes from God with Whom they unite themselves in prayer on-going. They are fed by the silDigby ence of the place where they live, the beauty of the planet just around them.
They too draw others into their prayer-life with members of all denominations or none from far and wide, and at home. They have spiritual retreats, a small hermitage on site, for those who seek solitude
in their search for meaning and for God. God is the source of their multifaceted ministry.
The solitude which many come to seek is threatened now by the prospect of a 400 foot wind turbine spinning behind their home- noisily day in and day out! That is hardly a gift from God!
I hope and pray that many who have come to know and love these dedicated women, and who have been graced by them over so many years, will write to our Municipal Council in protest, and write to the Dept. of the Environment before it is too late.
