Gain deeper insights into Christian de Chergé’s search for God in community.
Christian de Chergé was the prior of the Trappist community of Our Lady of Atlas in Tibhirine, Algeria, until his assassination with six of his fellow monks in 1996. Drawn from the last two years of his life, these chapter talks to his brothers offer deeper insight into the monastic search for God in community during tumultuous times. These talks are a treasury of inspiration for those interested in Benedictine spirituality, and a valuable source of reflections on Muslim-Christian relations to accompany those who engage in religious encounter in a pluralistic environment.
