Steps In A Large Room

A Quaker Explores The Monastic Tradition

BY CHRISTOPHER HOLDSWORTH

Brief Description:
Christopher Holdsworth spent much of his life learning about the monastic tradition. In this book he presents aspects of that tradition which may be useful for Quakers. Starting from outward things, like stability, humility, obedience and the regular attendance at public worship, the author moves towards other sides of what the tradition calls the exploration of the heart, which he calls inner space: namely attentive reading of the Bible, and prayer. "We, like Benedict's monks, need to let the whole of ourselves be irradiated with the Spirit, so that, in George Fox's memorable phrase, our lives preach."
