The Fath...

Lucian Gregory is a poetic anarchist. As the poets protest their ...

St. Benedict of Nursia (c. 480 - 583 A.D.) is an important historical figure who gave birth to monasticism in the West and shaped its course.

I do not want to change the views of a single individual. The truths I have to tell are not theological, but practical. They are, I believe, the fundamental truths of life and experience, the truths that underlie all theologies, and that are in fact their real and vital meaning.
