Diocesan group invites you to a Lenten book journey

Each Lent, the Spiritual Resilience Working Group of the diocesan Creation Care Committee offers a virtual book journey to members of the Diocese of Virginia and beyond. This year’s journey will focus on St. Benedict. The world was in chaos in the year 500 CE. The Roman Empire, which had held a firm grip as the world’s superpower, was unraveling. People felt that the ground beneath their feet was shifting so rapidly that they could not see the future. 

Benedict wrote his Rule to give guidance for keeping the way of faith. You are invited to join the working group in reading his Rule in daily meditations using “The Rule of Benedict: Insights for the Ages” by Joan Chittister, OSB (Crossroad Publishing Co., 2005). Used copies of this book can be found on eBay, Amazon or AbeBooks.

Beginning March 6, we will gather on five Thursdays in Lent via Zoom at 7 p.m. to share insights from the reading. Space is limited. Register by March 1 by emailing creationcare@episcopalvirginia.org with your name and preferred email address.
