“Patience is one of the characteristics of monastic life, but even the patience of the brothers was being tested by our slow dial-up internet service”.
~ Father Daniel, the Abbot of Caldey Abbey.
Matéria do The Independent (“Only broadband will do for monks with an internet habit“) sobre a contratação de broadband num monastério no Reino Unido é engraçada, mas compreensível, pois os monges têm um site e vendem material por ele (como chocolate e DVD). O site é o caldey-island.co.uk, e a quem interessar possa, cinco barras do Abbot’s Kitchen Chocolate custam £7.25. ;)
