Aug 24 Nashotah Orientation
We are a young married couple on a long-term exploration of our vocation. In 2008, that journey took us to India. Beginning this fall, we will be studying at Nashotah House, an small Anglo-Catholic seminary in Wisconsin, where our lives will revolve around prayer, study, and work, in the classical Benedictine rhythm.
For information about us, our projects, past adventures, and the things we are interested in and involved in, use the links to the left. To read more about our life and vision now, use the links above. You can also skip directly to our blog.
Guest Room
We look forward to making hospitality something that we can offer during our time at Seminary, inviting others to cenobetically share with us for a few days in our life of prayer and study. Check back in mid- to late-August for more details.
Giving
As you feel called, we welcome contributions to our development and vision. Our community past, present, and future — people who are invested in us and in our mission — form a big part of the mechanism through which God supports and sustains us financially, as well as spiritually and emotionally.

The purpose of this website is to
- Provide a place to process and codify our thoughts and experiences

Christian Contemplative Practice
edited 1220923936|%O| ago
At the perennial center of Christian life and theology is the personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. But how do we establish, nourish, and dwell in this relationship? Christian contemplative practice describes the things we do in order to reorient our personal, inward lives around our relationship with Jesus.

Sarah and I are studying a little Hindi in the car, and I have been enjoying it immensely. I think our methods of language learning complement each other.
The Approaching Horizon

The length of August does well at concealing the fact, but I can now count on my hands the number of days we have remaining until we give up our last vestiges of stability and head off into the wild unknown.
The Call to Contemplative Christianity
edited 1220491293|%O| ago
Not everyone is called to broaden the scope of their contemplative practice. For some, a life following the prescribed regiment of a specific denomination and community will be spiritually satisfying and an abundant practice. But other people are impelled outward, perhaps by a natural spiritual curiosity, perhaps by the challenges of the dominant culture, or perhaps because of wounds inflicted by their spiritual community of origin. The Church needs people of both types. (Consider St. Paul's metaphor of the Body in 1 Cor 12:14-26).
