| Summary: | Clergy conferences are taken for granted by priests and deacons as part of normal clerical life. For some, they are an occasion for catching up with friends not otherwise or rarely encountered; for others, a painful but necessary part of their yearly round; for very few, a learning experience. News of cancellation or postponement is received by some with disappointment; by others, with elation or indifference. For many, they are further evidence, if that were needed, that the modern church, like much else in contemporary civil society, is more concerned with talking than doing. The clergy are not alone: conferences seem to have become an integral part of most professions and careers; doctors, administrators, police, philosophers, canonists, teachers, firemen, and so on, could not imagine their professional lives without conferences or meetings. |
