Workshop Description
We all see that the world is changing all around us. The people of God have seen change before. What did they do to address their own spiritual longings? What does this mean to the changing needs of the people of God today? For some, that longing today is filled through new monasticism.
What is New Monasticism and/or dispersed religious communities? How does it work with your daily life? How do you discern if God is calling you to this life? Have you been wondering about these things? Come join us to gain an understanding of what it's all about. Find out how to put your desire into action.

I am looking forward to being part of this panel discussion. When I became aware that I was moving toward a commitment to life in a Convent - to making life vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience, it was a daunting time. I was an independent professional woman and quite happy in my life. Yet here I am, 21 years later, a Sister in the Community of the Transfiguration in the midst of challenges and adventures I never expected, including seminary (CDSP) and ordination as a priest. Although there are struggles, I wouldn't change the choice I made. I'm eager to talk to people who might have questions or who wonder what kind of crazy woman would do this. The grace of God is amazing - as is God's sense of humor.
