Many people (like yourself) have found the Benedict Option a very compelling strategy for Christians living in a post-Christian society. You are committed to “live not by lies” in the face of a society increasingly inhospitable (in some places downright hostile) to a Christian way of life.
BUT the big challenge so many of us face in our day to day existence is to actually put it in to practice, often given so many of us lack the community support to do so. The most common questions I hear from Christians around the world seeking to embrace the Benedict Option are:
How do we actually build Christian community?
What are the guiding principles for finding the right balance between community life and personal freedom?
How can we faithfully support one another to Live Not by Lies?
How do we rediscover the basics of forming a life of Christian prayer?
And also. . . HELP!
And so with these needs in mind, we are establishing, in the words of St. Benedict himself, a school for the service of the Lord, to share the very practical guidance in all things related to Benedict Option and Living as a Christian in today’s world. There is a light that shines in the darkness, and I hope you will join me in kindling the flame of living faith incarnated in this world through our day-to-day actions, relationships, and communities we can build together.
