The Rule of Saint Benedict is a book of principles to guide the Christian life written by St. Benedict of Nursia over 1500 years ago, which still today offers relevant wisdom about relationships, authority, community, balance, work, simplicity, and prayer. Participants in this group must agree to read a daily page-length excerpt from The Rule of Benedict accompanied by commentary from modern sage, Joan Chittister, O.S.B., and come each week prepared to reflect on them together. The class will meet every Sunday, September through the end of December. Class size is limited to 10 participants. Sign-up for class on August 31 at the Welcome Desk, where books will be available. Suggested contribution, $6.
