Dear Dom Theodore,
I must apolo...Christ is risen!<br /><br />Dear Dom Theodore,<br /><br />I must apologise that I have not kept up with the comments on this blog in quite a while. I was pleased to finally see your comment and to learn that you are making use of Dom Cuthbert and Dom Paul in your work. I hope maybe we can be in touch a bit more. You aren't on Facebook by any chance, are you? ;-)<br /><br />Pax,<br />Fr Deacon Aaron (Oblate Cassian)Aaron Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775589009145031773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-12870124623988898262017-03-10T19:38:21.513-06:002017-03-10T19:38:21.513-06:00PAX!
I just saw this article, and thought I would...PAX!<br /><br />I just saw this article, and thought I would offer a brief comment that the first 13 Chapters of Dom Cuthbert's monumental book are what we use for inquirers and postulants who are seeking to gain a basic understanding of Benedictine ethos prior to entering novitiate and beginning a more intense study of the Rule (for which we use the Commentary on the Holy Rule by Dom Paul Delatte, Fourth Abbot of Solesmes -- to whom Dom Cuthbert gives very high marks).<br /><br />Although obviously not Orthodox, Dom Cuthbert is very keen to hearken to the spirit of St Benedict himself and the early centuries of Benedictine monastic development. This keeps his work very close to the ancient Orthodoxy of the West and makes it especially suitable for those of us who are Orthodox Benedictine monastics.<br /><br />I am now very interested to find the volume by Dom David Knowles on the development of the monastic order in England.<br /><br />Thank you for your article and for making this excellent work better known in Orthodox circles!<br /><br />PAX,<br /><br />Dom Theodore,<br />Prior<br />Monastery of Our Lady and Saint Laurence<br />Antiochian Orthodox Christian ArchdioceseAbbot Theodorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033976541107844341noreply@blogger.com
