"The Monastery"
Starting tonight, The Learning Channel will broadcast a five-part series, The Monastery, about five men seeking God for 40 days at Christ in the Desert Monastery, 75 mi. north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. I've been a little sceptical about the show based on the preview/commercials on TLC. However, the TLC website has good references to materials about Benedictine spirituality; I'm hoping the show will be realistic about life at a Benedictine monastery (at least as based on my experiences at Blue Cloud Abbey, St. John's Abbey, and St. Paul's Monastery).
P.S. You may be interested in some brief comments about monks by Abbot Thomas in his current message at From Abbot Thomas' Choir Stall.
