Oblate Meetings
Annual Oblate Retreat, 9-11 July 2010
The Rule of Saint Benedict can be viewed through a number of different lenses: feminist, monastic, oblate. This retreat will glimpse at the Rule through an Indigenous lens. Where do native ways of living spiritually in the world and the Rule meet eye to eye? Where do our gazes differ? What are some common characteristics of native ways of living spiritually in the world today? These questions will guide our time together as we ponder living interdependently in respectful and reciprocal ways.
Presenter: Jeanne Lacourt is chair of the Ethnic Studies department and Associate Professor of American Indian Studies at St. Cloud State University.
