“Last night [Friday] there was the night church experience - very noisy, very active, but also with a quiet service at the end with a lot of people sitting around praying quietly and very deeply.

Ah yes, ABC you just couldn’t resist the monastic tension between the contemplative and the active life. This is another statement similar to, “We got up in the morning.” following the ACC meeting.
