PREPARATORY READINGS

1. 'What is a Rule of Life?', from The Northumbrian Community

2. Introduction to the Rule of St Benedict

3. A short Rule of Life Workbook - Let this stimulate your imagination for drawing up a simple grid/framework (if you think that way) or narrative or ‘letter to God’ (if you prefer that approach). It comes from a broadly evangelical Christian tradition but this simple workbook structure helps you think about intentionality in your own spiritual life. (‘Practicing The Way’ is a project of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, in the United States.)
