Benedictines Magazine
Benedictines magazine is a journal exploring issues of interest
to monastic women and men. It contains articles on scripture, spirituality,
community
life, ministry, prayer and liturgy. Begun in 1946, it was originally
titled The Benedictine Review. The founding editor, Sister
Imogene Baker, OSB, was renowned for her scholarship and leadership
in the monastic
world. For over fifty years, five editors have carried on the tradition
of reflecting contemporary monastic perspectives and suggesting future
possibilities.
Benedictines is published semi-annually by Mount St. Scholastica.
The subscription price is $15.00; foreign subscriptions are $20.00 (air
mail);
Canada and Mexico, $18.00.
Benedictines welcomes original manuscripts for publication.
