Diffusions – Meet the Desert Saints
With Dr. Samantha L. Miller
September 15, 2023
An introduction to the men and women who went into the desert to live lives of intense spiritual formation in 4th century Egypt and Syria. Who were these wild people? Why did they think they needed to go to the desert to be faithful Christians? And what wisdom do they have to offer us? Part one of our fall desert saints series!
Diffusions offers online programs to further opportunities for prayer, learning, community, and spiritual growth from a Benedictine perspective. We look forward to bringing Wisdom from the Center to you, wherever you are.
