2026 Friends of St. Benedict Annual Seminar, featuring Br. Ephrem Arcement, OHC, the Superior at Holy Cross Monastery in NY
Topic: “St. Benedict’s Way of Peace”
Monasteries through the centuries have been known for many unique qualities—one of the most notable being that they are places of peace. This symposium will explore what the Benedictine tradition can teach us about finding peace in the midst of a chaotic world, perhaps a more relevant topic now than ever before! Grounding this exploration of monastic peace in the “Shalom” of God in the Hebrew Bible and the gift of peace to the church which Christ bestows in his resurrection, we will see how the monasteries have harnessed this spirit of peace and utilized it as a stabilizing and transforming force for the world. Notable, in this regard, is the example of the twentieth-century monk, Thomas Merton, who did just this.
