The Way of Benedict: A Reflection on the Benedictine Character of Anglican Spiritualitywith the Rev. Canon George MaxwellThis Sunday, September 21, we discuss Benedictine spirituality and how it has shaped the Anglican consciousness with its balance of prayer, work, and community. This class explores the Rule of St. Benedict as a practical guide for living a faithful, attentive, and ordered life in the midst of today's complexities. Together, we reflect on themes such as stability, humility, obedience, and hospitality—not as abstract ideals, but as practices that ground us in God's presence and open us to one another. Participants are invited to consider how Benedict's wisdom can enrich daily rhythms, deepen prayer, and foster life-giving community.

The Rev. Canon George Maxwell leads this class.When we ask the question, “What is Anglican spirituality, and where does it begin?”, many instinctively look to the English Reformation. We think of Thomas Cranmer, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Elizabethan Settlement. These are indeed crucial moments, shaping the way Anglicans pray and order their life with God. But Rowan Williams often invites us to look further back, beneath the surface of the 16th century, into the deeper soil from which Anglican spirituality grows. He points out that Anglicanism is best described as a reformed Catholicism — a tradition that holds onto the catholic inheritance of the early church while reshaping it in the light of reform. If that is true, then Anglican spirituality cannot be confined to Cranmer and Hooker. It must be traced to the fathers and mothers of the early church, and in particular, to the great spiritual experiment of the desert tradition in Egypt, Syria, and Palestine in the 3rd and 4th centuries. Rowan Williams describes the desert tradition as a school of prayer and discipleship that continues to shape Christian life today. In his vision, the desert is the common wellspring of Christian spirituality — Benedictine, Catholic, Orthodox, and yes, Anglican. This Sunday we follow that line of thought: to see how the desert mothers and fathers, through monastic tradition, gave Anglicans their particular way of praying, believing, and living. We trace the journey from the desert of Antony and Syncletica, through Cassian and Benedict, to the cadences of Morning and Evening Prayer, to the lives of George Herbert and Evelyn Underhill, and finally, to Rowan Williams' own reframing for our age.

Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times (part 2), in Old Fashioned Sunday School with the Rev. Canon George Maxwell, from the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Philip, AtlantaThe fall election season promises to be a trying time for all of us, regardless of political disposition. The heightened energy of the campaigns causes us to feel like we need to have opinions on things we don't really understand, to argue until the person in front of us concedes that we're right, and to stop seeing those who don't. The result is pervasive disconnection.Elizabeth Oldfield, the host of the Sacred podcast and former director and now senior fellow of the think tank Theos, offers a way for us to stay connected. In her new book, Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times, Oldfield explores how religion helps us to develop deep principles and values that help us grow in empathy and curiosity for people different from ourselves. Canon Maxwell will lead a discussion that looks more deeply at Oldfield's insights and explore how they might play out in our lives. Copies of the book may be purchased in the Cathedral Bookstore.
