The discussion group OSB-L is a private list available only to professed monastics, former monastics, and oblates. For admission you may send an email message to Fr. Tom Thole, OSB, the list owner, stating which Benedictine community you belong to or are afilliated with. ARE YOU INTERESTED in seeing something like that happen here? SEND your ideas to Editor, The Oblate. What follows is a partial list of Benedictine communities on the web. These are not usually the home pages of the various communities,but rather the page devoted to Oblates - or retreat centers. |
Sometimes there is a full scale web publication for Oblates, sometimes there is only a mention about Oblates. If you are a seeker looking for a Benedictine community to become affiliated with as an Oblate, this is a good place to start. Then, hopefully you will explore the home pages of the community that interests you, do your homework about how the Rule of Benedict points to the Gospel, maybe make arrangements to go a Benedictine community near you, and come to some preliminary understanding of how you too can incorporate all of this into your daily life. So, grab your Bible, get a copy of Joan Chittister's Rule of Benedict and Kathleen Norris' The Cloister Walk and give yourself permission to be quiet and pray and read. |
