The Benedictine Study groups study the Rule of Benedict and how it applies to our lives today in our work, prayer, stewardship, relationships, authority, community, balance, simplicity, and our psychological and spiritual development.
Members learn how to listen with the ear of our heart and how to live in community.
Members use a workbook, Preferring Christ, designed to provide a framework for slow and simple daily reflection, meditation, and prayer on the Rule of Benedict. Groups gather twice monthly to share experiences. The texts cover the Bible and the history of the church from earliest times to the present. In addition, students examine the relationship between their own life experiences and the material studied. This Guild has as its focus service to families and children of the Cathedral and the community.
