what is the good shephard cathederal in cuervaca-

The cathedral in cuernavaca has 7 pews on each side. The pads on the seat are a rich red, there are red stools to knell. all the walls are whitewashed white and there is a beautiful large stained glass over the alter. it is a simple and humble catherdral, the smallest catherdral in the anglican community, wordwide, so bishop delgado tells us. this small space was the site of a most wonderful spirituality today. we heard scott tell of planting the smallest of seeds, a mustard seed, and watching it grow to support birds and others. we are part of a seed planting. we are establishing relationships with this small community that hopefully will extend long into the future. it was a very great god moment.
we heard scott give the 10 oclock service in english and most of us stayed for the noon service in spanish. the priest at the spanish language service invited all the fathers in the ocngregation to be blessed, and to see both our group of father and the congregation fathers was quite moving.
bear with me i cannot find the capitilization key, nor can i find the punctuation.
this group is working out pretty well. what a unique opportunity to blend with each other. we are having a lot of fun with each other.
downtown cuernevaca is a city of 1.5 million. Not too many americans. we piece together language with a few hearty souls who speak enough spanish to translate.
lunch was a prolonged afair with 23 of us. Then we split up and visited the castle that Cortes build in the 1500´s. that is the location of the very moving rivera murals depicting the struggle to conquer the county of mexico. the catholic catherdral was next on our walking tour, beautiful, but we could not enter the big catherdral unless we were worshipers. the borda jardins gardens was a brief 5 minute walk through. the brady museum was teh best part of the tour.
we owe a lot to bridgit, who has bent over backwards to welcome us, pave the way, be a tour guide, order taxis and buses for us. she is wonderful-
bet you wish you were here. all our good thoughts and prayers to you
