Sharing on fraternal collaboration By Br. Paul Knoeig and discussion

after the talk by Br. ALwyn who presented a good paper on fraternal collaboration we had a break. Everyone appreciated the talk and the points mentioned in the talk were relevant and acceptable too.
we gathered together after the work. We began the seasion by singing a hymn. Br. Victorious then invite Br. Paul Koenig, the Arabian custodes. He shared for about 15 minutes his experience of the fraternal collaboration. There are 50 Friars from CCMSI who are working. Many have worked and come back to the province. He shared challenges and difficulties that are existing in two vicariates. The bishops are doing wonderful job. There is a good collaboration between the capuchins and the bishops. 
The participants asked many relevant questions to Paul who tactfully and fraternally answered all the questions. The contribution by the capuchins is great and they will continue to do so. The Friars are very faithful to prayer, fraternal and apsotolate. The friar who are chosen and sent are well prepared by the province. A friar can stay there in gulf only for nine years. But if the Bishops need the services of the Friars after nine years he could ask the general minister and the provincial.
