Par Rod Dreher. 2017
American Christianity is in decline. From the outside, churches are beset by challenges to religious liberty in a rapidly secularizing…
culture. From the inside, they are being hollowed out by the departure of young people and a watered-down pseudo-spirituality. Conservative Christian political influence has collapsed. Confused and frightened Christians wonder: What went wrong? What's next? Do we have a future in post-Christian America? Dreher argues that the way forward is actually the way back--all the way back to Saint Benedict of Nursia. This sixth-century monk, horrified by the decadence of Rome, retreated to the forest and created a new way of life for Christians under Barbarian rule. He and his fellow monks built resilient communities based on principles of order, hospitality, stability, and prayer. By creating spiritual centres of hope that were strongholds of light through the Dark Ages, they saved not just Christianity, but Western Civilization. "The Benedict option" is the guide for Christians under siege today. 2017.The best of E.M. Bounds on prayer
