Testing the Blog Concept for Benedictine Community

So you were invited to "Test the Blog Concept" with me.  Thank you for looking at this site.  I hope that we share an interest in Benedictine Community.  Living some distance from the monastery, I find it difficult to stay in touch with others who share my Benedictine intentions.

How do you think we might encourage each other?  

Are you interested in discussing the Rule?  

If so, then we might read selections from Joan Chittister's  web site.  The link is listed under "Some Links of Interest to Benedictines" in the left column of this blog.

I hope that we find a way to encourage one another in our daily ordinary lives.  I also hope that you will share your hopes about using this blog for connection, discussion, study, or  prayer.

About confidentiality and privacy.  Even though I can't find this site without the exact URL link, it is currently functionally open to anyone.  

The option exists to limit access to "up to 100 readers" and "100 authors" to make a private blog for a small reflection, prayer, or study group.  I welcome your comments on private verses public. 

So explore,  comment, subscribe, follow...and tell me what you think. 

Peace and Blessings,

Deanne Gibbs-Brown, Oblate S.B.
