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 Theory behind our Journey
edited 1220374954|%O| ago
Our actions are rooted in a set of assumptions about what is good, what is right, what is beautiful, and what is valuable that we have pieced together through the principles of our faith, and experiences of our lives. In a way, they are only provisional. Like the world we live in, these assumptions are fluid, and prone to change. But since they are what we have, we act on them, recognizing that this action will catalyze their continuing evolution.
A Critique of the Interfaith Movement

This is a short reflection I wrote up out of my own limited experience with interfaith communities as they currently practice.
Our Search for the Church
edited 1220370220|%O| ago
The Church is one of the central mysteries of the Christian life. It is, as St. Peter describes, a temple built of "living stones." As the Prophet Isaiah spoke, it is "a house of praise for all peoples." It is a communion that stretches inexplicably through time and space, its splendor sometimes visible, sometimes invisible. As the Psalms say, it is a people "whose heritage is praise" and whose "delight is in God."
Encountering the Christian Scriptures
edited 1220335196|%O| ago
The Bible is the book of Christian Scriptures. For Christians, no other book is as sacred, nor as authoritative on details of the Divine. As such, it provides much of the raw material for Christian religious and spiritual reflection. However, while this attitude toward the Scriptures is generally shared amongst Christians, approaches to listening to them, learning from them, and submitting to their authority vary significantly by community.
