Christians of all denominations are looking today to the ancient
discipline of a rule of life to strengthen their sense of living in
Christ and participating in a wider community. For the first time
the brothers of the Society of Saint John the Evangelist are making
their rule-completely rewritten and revised-available to the church
at large. The book is composed of 49 short chapters that develop
classical monastic themes of hospitality, poverty, celibacy, and
obedience, exploring what these might mean to men and women living
at the end of the millennium. And because this is a modern rule, it
provides guidance and reflection in less traditional areas,
too-leadership, conflict, the use and abuse of authority, work, the
need for rest and silence, vocation, and fellowship with the poor.
Therefore it has much to teach Christians in other kinds of
communities, including the family, the parish, and the workplace.
Concluding chapters give suggestions for meditating on the Rule and
for its use as an aid to discernment and spiritual growth for
prayer groups and parish life committees.
