The
BIshop's Notebook, 09 June 2000
“On the way
to Bishop-Elect Dave Bena’s Consecration in the Adirondack
Mountains, I convinced CH (MAJ) Dave Scheider to have dinner
with me. Dave was driving back to his duty assignment at Fort
Drum from a diocesan convention in Syracuse so it seemed logical
to grab some moments together. Dave eagerly told me of his
experience with new friends called the "Canterbury Way."
He added that it was "a modified use of the Benedictine
Rule." I was curious about that since everyone from weekly
Bible study groups to executive search firms are claiming
the means intended to bind a monastery together under the
hand of a gentle abbot. But Dave insisted, he had covenanted
with colleagues for prayer, scripture and work/exercise. It
drew them closer.”
