W25-21 Monks, Nuns and Jesuits: A Habit Hard to Break REPEAT
Class | This class is completed
Monastic life has fascinated and formed Christian spirituality and religious practice from the beginning. Desert hermits evolved to cloistered monks and nuns. St. Ignatius Loyola broke the mold with missionaries educated in science, as well as theology. At each transition, the laity tried to imitate monastic practices, often missing the evolving spirituality. That struggle changed the course of Western civilization. Join a former Jesuit priest in tracing the pioneering lives and learn their secrets for a more spiritual (vs. religious) life.
