About

Part of the brotherhood of South Dakota's Blue Cloud Abbey for more than forty years, Brother Benet Tvedten describes his Benedictine community and the possibilities within. Combating the notion that monks are both peculiar and holy, Tvedten reflects on the changes that have occurred in modern monastic life and on the brothers with whom he has forged his community.
