It has become an enduring, integral part of Christian spirituality and continues to have great attraction for many Christians today. Although the Rule was written for monastics, many subjects addressed in it can be applied to life outside the monastery. Such topics as prayer, humility, patience, simplicity, solitude, community, etc., are all dealt with in the Rule. These, and other specifics of the Rule, provide a framework for those seeking to live a balanced Christian life. At present the Benedictine Community has twenty-five members, including two clergy.
Members represent four different Christian denominations.
The Community meets on the first and third Mondays of the month. Following the discussion, group lectio is held. The Benedictine Community is ecumenical and open to anyone interested in Benedictine spirituality and a deeper interior life.
