Rule of St. Benedict Reading for Sept 9, 2009 Ch 2

January 9, May 10, September 9 Chapter 2: What Kind of Person the Abbess Ought to Be An Abbess who is worthy to be over a monastery should always remember what she is called, and live up to the name of Superior. For she is believed to hold the place of Christ in the monastery, being called by a name of His, which is taken from the words of the Apostle: "You have received a Spirit of adoption ..., by virtue of which we cry, 'Abba -- Father'" (Rom. 8:15)! Therefore the Abbess ought not to teach o… Continue

April 11, August 11, December 11 Chapter 58: On the Manner of Receiving Sisters When anyone is newly come for the reformation of her life, let her not be granted an easy entrance; but, as the Apostle says, "Test the spirits to see whether they are from God."

March 6, July 6, November 5 Chapter 29: Whether Brethren Who Leave the Monastery Should Be Received Again If a brother who through his own fault leaves the monastery should wish to return, let him first promise full reparation for his having gone away; and then let him be received in the lowest place, as a test of his humility.

Sayings of the Desert Christians: Gentleness 1

from: http://www.cin.org/dsrtft11.html Abba Nilus said, "Prayer is the seed of gentleness and the absence of anger." Some thoughts I read or heard many a definition, description, or teaching about the nature of prayer, how it works, how do do it etc. But nothing as succinct as this. This reads to me like a cause and effect. If prays then gentleness will develop within a person and anger will depart. Isn't this good news? Isn't this full of hope? Gentleness and lack of anger seem to me to be… Continue

For… Continue

Anglimergents reliving the 'both and' approach to unity in diversity: Living in Hope beyond Fear

Anglimergents have been experimenting with inclusive forms of community, and participative forms of leadership, but at the same time have recognised the importance of the local Diocese as the Local Church and the Bishop as the point of unity with other local forms of the body Christ of varying different traditions. In Anglican polity it is an oxymoron for local bodies of Christ to 'opt out' of relationship with their local provincial bishop, opting to go with others outside the province. Why? -… Continue
