The Cathedral of St. Philip

The Way of Benedict: A Reflection on the Benedictine Character of Anglican Spirituality
with the Rev. Canon George Maxwell

This Sunday, September 21, we discuss Benedictine spirituality and how it has shaped the Anglican consciousness with its balance of prayer, work, and community. This class explores the Rule of St. Benedict as a practical guide for living a faithful, attentive, and ordered life in the midst of today’s complexities. Together, we reflect on themes such as stability, humility, obedience, and hospitality—not as abstract ideals, but as practices that ground us in God’s presence and open us to one another. Participants are invited to consider how Benedict’s wisdom can enrich daily rhythms, deepen prayer, and foster life-giving community.
