Adjoa Andoh – SANGHA KOMMUNE (SSR)

Adjoa Andoh (阿乔亚·安多 – A Qiao Ya – An Duo), a 60-year-old British actor, watched the Coronation King Charles III in the studio as a guest of the UK’s ITV Channel – and commented on the event. When she saw the royal family appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, she said: “We have gone from the rich diversity of the Church – to the terribly white balcony.” As a Black person of African-descent, Adjoa obviously assumed that the royal family’s skin-colour is a “problem” – stating that the individuals are “too white.” The so-called “diversity” the actress seems to be referencing – stems from the fact that King Charles III invited singers of African-descent to perform during the Coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

The typical (Christian) Monastic Rule states that on the day of the birth of Jesus Christ (Christmas Day), the monks, nuns and lay-observants (oblates), are solemn, humble, conscientious, profoundly aware, and committed to the structures of the Rule they follow. The interesting thing, however, is that the day of Christ’s birth is no more – and no less – significant than any other of the 364 days that exist throughout the year within the monastic cycle. Yes – various holy days (including Christmas Day) attract specific sermons and rituals – but these are inserted into the general daily framework of the Monastic Rule itself. Extra-food and extra-drink (outside of that already permitted by the Rule) is not allowed. A break from the daily round of monastic duty (outside the Rule) is not allowed. Finally, as the monastics and lay-observants own “nothing” (not even their robes) – there is never any giving of gifts (private property is not permitted under the Rule).
