A Choice Between Impossibles: Joan Chittister

Sister Joan Chittister looks at the state of the world and sees a 'choice between impossibles;' ignoring what is and accepting what is. As an antidote to 21st century values of materialism and individualism, she evokes the values of the 5th century St. Benedict: creative work, holy leisure, wise stewardship, loving community, humility and peace.

This series incorporates a DVD, workbook and resource guide, which allows each segment's teachings to be taught to a group or utilized for independent study. The resource guide presents a format for an eight-session course and gives the course leader specific points of discussion, debate and activities for participants. An alternative model for conducting the course as a weekend retreat, with examples of daily schedules and activities is also included. This resource is inspired by, and wrapped around, a keynote address Sister Joan Chittister gave at the 2003 Trinity Institute National Conference, 'Shaping Holy Lives: Benedictine Spirituality in the Contemporary World'.
