Benedictine Life: A Vision Unfolding: Wisdom, Witness, Way Forward - Paperback

by Osb Linda Romey (Compiled by)

Benedictine Life: A Vision Unfolding is about a vision-a vision that arose more than 1,500 years ago when St. Benedict penned his rule for monks. A 21st century way forward for this tradition will arise only when we immerse ourselves in its wisdom teaching and emulate the witness of those who have invested their lives in it over many centuries. Only then will the vision unfold for us. Benedictine Life: A Vision Unfolding was also the title of the Centennial Colloquium of the Benedictine women's Monastic Congregation of St. Scholastica that took place June 21-24, 2022. Participants were Benedictine women and men, professed, oblates and seekers. This book is a compilation of the papers presented at that Colloquium, with the addition of an introduction by Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister who served as president of the Congregation from 1971-1978. These are the presenters and responders whose papers you will find in this book: Judith Sutera, OSB, Deborah Asberry, Edith Bogue, OSB, Linda Romey, OSB, Patricia Fawkner, SGS, Katie Gordon, Judith Valente, Oblate, Joanna Burley, OSB. May the insights and questions they present guide us into the next 100 years.
