I read “Finding Sanctuary” a while back and found it refreshing. Then recently I interviewed Penelope Wilcock, author of the “Hawk and the Dove” trilogy (set in a Benedictine Monastery), and more recently a Benedictine nun, Sister Catherine Wybourne (@digitalnun on Twitter!) Talked through the Rule of Benedict with both. It’s full of practical wisdom on ‘how to live’ – in community, as a disciple. Pen Wilcock admires its common sense (e.g. the ‘great silence’, the custom of not speaking last thing at night or first thing in the morning – great way to avoid arguments and fall outs in community! But Sr Catherine cautioned against describing it as a ‘moderate rule’ until you’ve tried to live it. Fair point, I thought.

I agree with Shane that the end of Christian triumphalism is to be celebrated. Faith, when in majority or ruling through State, often ends up moving away from God and towards man followed by labelling groups of people as desirable/undesirable, etc. It turns into religion with no life- a set of rules to abide by. Christianity thrives when in minority, as history has proved for centuries.

Great quote about washing up and revolution. I think true disciples raise from the kitchen sink.
