IDS: Benedictine Teaching Resources for Faculty: Silence
This site supports Wabash Center faculty seminars that focus on the religious content of our IDS courses: the Rule of Benedict, human dignity and the common good in Catholic Social Teaching.
"Maybe courses that cover the Rule could practice a little silence. It could be a good lesson for life, esp in this overly connected culture that leaves no time to think."
Fr. Philip
"I would like to share an essay assignment that I used to use for WRIT 1101. If any of you find it helpful, feel free to use and/or modify it for the purposes of your class."
Beth Vinkler
"On the topic of silence, I would also recommend the video Into Great Silence, which documents the silence and limited speech of the Carthusian monks at La Grande Chartreuse. Benedictine's library has the DVD."
