Hi Deb! �I am one of the two who took vows on Saturday. �I was also thinking, in the ceremony, how it is similar to the Benedictine oblation process too.

Thanks for visiting the site. �We're building it up, but feel free to ask and if I or others can be of any help, please let us know!

Grace and peace to you.

Steven,

I didn't know that you went through Dave's school. I'd love to be able to do that.

Ah, you're right, Diedre! I was placing too much stock in the YouTube title for the video. That's a lot of difference, I agree!

Yeah, I love that about Nouwen. His book on leadership, In the Name of Jesus, should be required reading for all Christian leaders, especially pastors.

Heck, Colleen, I'd be happy to give you a reading list, all the stuff I want to read but haven't gotten to :). Also I have some GREAT books that just got sent to me but are dupes. I'll bring a little pile next weekend.

Thanks for the comment, Tess. I think it's 'definitely' also; I think that the countercultural, spiritual rhythms of monasticism are deeply important for us in the rat race.
