Responsibility and Authority can be seen as reciprocal sides of the same relationship. These slides accompanied a presentation of the Benedictine perspective on these two important virtues.
The document discusses the concepts of authority, responsibility, accountability, and organizing as they relate to delegation of authority within an organization. It defines authority as the power to make decisions, responsibility as the obligation to perform assigned duties, and accountability as being answerable to superiors for work performed. It notes that authority can be delegated to subordinates, but accountability remains with the delegator. The document also outlines factors important for effective delegation of authority and potential obstacles.

Transformation: Forgetting What Lies Behind, Reaching Forward to What Lies AheadSister Edith Bogue
Week-long retreat for the Benedictine Sisters of St. Placid Priory in Lacey, WA. Focus on the dynamics of transformation, the forces that support it and those that hold us back.
This document discusses what community means for the Duluth Benedictine Oblates. It describes community as a group of people joined by a single hope and method of seeking God under a rule and leader, accepting differences. Key practices that unite the community are common prayer, eating together at a shared table with suitable but not lavish provisions, and common ownership of property to use but not own. The document emphasizes developing relationships based on love, respect, bearing with one another's frailties, and choosing the unity of the community over individual wants by giving recalcitrant members chances to return and prioritizing the good of all.

This document reflects on the passage from John 12:24 "Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just wheat." It uses images from Vincent Van Gogh's paintings of wheat fields to illustrate the concept of a grain of wheat dying in order to produce more wheat. The document reflects on Jesus' words that a grain must fall and die to bear much fruit, and how Van Gogh's paintings depict the growth of wheat from seed to harvest.

Slides from meeting of the Benedictine Oblates of St. Scholastica Monastery in Duluth, Minnesota in February 2018. Review of previous topic - Becoming Encouragers - followed by slides for new topic, Authentic Hospitality.
The Benedictine Rule has no chapter on encouragement, but sprinkles advice throughout. Slides from an Oblate meeting in January 2018 at St. Scholastica Monastery in Duluth, MN.
This document discusses silence and solitude based on a presentation to Benedictine Oblates. It covers how silence is addressed in the Rule of St. Benedict and references to solitude. It also discusses using solitude for spiritual preparation and avoiding isolation. Monks are encouraged to gradually counteract social withdrawal by connecting with others, while also finding solitude to pray alone without disturbing others.
Psalmody refers to the singing or recitation of psalms. The psalms make up the first book of the Hebrew Bible and are an anthology of 150 individual psalms divided into five sections. They were used in ancient Jewish worship and temple liturgies and were incorporated into early Christian worship. Reciting the psalms is intended to be a daily spiritual practice for formation, praise, thanksgiving, and meditating on God's presence in the world. The genres of individual psalms, like praise, lament, and hymns, can guide different styles of personal and liturgical prayer.
A look at the contemplative practice of Guard of the Heart, growing from the Benedictine spiritual tradition. Given at the Benedictine Center, St. Paul's Monastery, on 24 March 2017.
"Silence" is often discussed as a core monastic practice, but St. Benedict's prescription for custody of the tongue focuses not only on refraining from speech but even more on how we care for community, for the other, and for ourselves when we do speak. This presentation, one in the series on Hard Sayings of St. Benedict, includes a careful study of the idea of custody. Given to the Oblates of St. Scholastica Monastery in 2017.
Stability is one of the three vows that Benedictine sisters and monks take. This presentation considers what this vow might mean for lay people in every day life. Originally given as a retreat at St. Paul's Monastery, St. Paul, Minnesota in 2013.
Opening presentation to a year long consideration of "hard sayings" in The Rule of St. Benedict, written in the sixth century. Sister Edith Bogue considers why people find sayings hard - whether those of Jesus in the Bible or the related ones of St. Benedict in his Rule. Perhaps it is not the sayings that are what's hard...
Slides from Presentation by Sister Edith Bogue at the November 2016 meeting of the Benedictine Oblates of St. Scholastica Monastery in Duluth, MN. One in a series of presentations on the Hard Sayings of St. Benedict, drawing its inspiration from the twin commands to neither defender nor complain about the others in the community.
Slides from presentation by Sister Paule Pierre Barbeau at the December 2016 meeting Benedictine Oblates of St Scholastica Monastery, Duluth MN. This was one of a series focusing on the Hard Sayings of St. Benedict, drawing its inspiration from Chapter 49 of his Rule, which begins "The life of a monk ought to be an everlasting Lent."
This document summarizes a conference presentation on the changing demographics affecting Benedictine sponsorship of colleges and universities. It notes that Benedictine communities are shrinking while student populations are growing and becoming more diverse. It discusses two perspectives on sponsorship - a formal relationship versus a ministry. It also addresses partnering to achieve common goals like recruitment and retention through cultural competence and mission-centered coordination. Sustaining the sponsorship ministry requires commitment to goals, developing the ministry through formation, and monasteries collaborating to carry it out.
Dialogue is the theme the Oblates are considering this year. This session looked at our relationship with "the economy" and its local manifestations, taking a theological and a Benedictine perspective.
Presentation from the Duluth Benedictine Oblate Meeting on Sunday, February 14, 2016. Family is the place in which we first learn faith and relationships. It can support and nurture us, but it can also be a source of stress and tension. This session focused on ways that the Benedictine tradition could strengthen family life.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
