Has anyone looked at the web site of the Irish Dominicans?
The computerworld has introduced all sorts of new terms, one of them being the word, 'virtual' and then 'virtual reality'. Never quite sure what it means. Certainly, reading the Dominican website, one can get some sort of clue. Has it something to do with the difference between 'real' and 'unreal'?

On the question: Has anyone looked at the web site of the Irish Dominicans?

I was pleasantly surprised recently to find a fairly elaborate and detailed website produced by the Irish OP brethren in Trinidad. What is especially impressive, as far as I am concerned, is the fact that all the Irish friars who served in Trinidad - even those of us who have left the fold – are included. See: http://www.dominicans-tt.org/friarsy.htm

I would like to express my appreciation to the person or persons responsible.

This I think is a new development and would be enhanced even more so by keeping the ex-friars in the loop say when there is a special commemoration, anniversary, or occasion of note. That’s where a communication channel would be vital. The formerdoms.com website went a long way towards that. However, there was a certain indifference or maybe even resistance by many of the brethren both within and without to enter into the dialogue. What now?

I am looking forward to reading your blog regularly, Michael, and I am hoping it does become a forum for the respectful and informed exchange of ideas and opinions relevant to the Irish province of the Dominican Order.
