About the Cornerstone Community: Cornerstone is a lay monastic community founded at Trinity more than 25 years ago. Some 40 members from parishes in the metropolitan area and France meet monthly as a community and weekly in small groups. They seek to follow The Rule of St. Benedict, grounded in obedience, stability and transformation.
About the leaders: The class will be facilitated by Abbot Elaine Harris, Prior Steve Isaacson and members of the Cornerstone Community. Elaine attempts to live as a monastic in the monastery of her home and gardens. Steve is the author of Praying With St Benedict and recently returned from pilgrimage to Iona.
