Who Can Attend?

This class is open to all members of our parish as well as any guests  interested in joining the St. Nicholas Western Orthodox parish on a journey of learning and growth.
 

We are currently discussing the first chapter, "The Great Flood."

Excerpt from the first chapter of The Benedict Option:

"Growing up in south Louisiana, whenever a hurricane was coming, somebody would take out the cast-iron kettle, make a big pot of gumbo, and after battening down the hatches, invite the neighbors over to eat, tell stories, make merry, and ride out the storm together. 

 

This spirit ruled the response to the Great Flood of 2016. Even as the waters rose, little platoons all over south Louisiana rushed  out to rescue the trapped, shelter the homeless, feed the hungry (with mountains of jambalaya, mostly), and comfort the broken and broken-hearted.

 

This was not a response ordered from on high. It emerged spontaneously, out of the love local people had for their neighbor, and the sense of responsibility they had to care for those left poor and naked by the flood..."

*Saint Nicholas Orthodox oblates are lay people or clergy dedicated to serving God in society but associated with the Benedictine Fellowship of Our Lady and St Lawrence Monastery, in Canon City Colorado United States.
