Joan Chittister, Benedictine Sister, famed author and international ambassador for human rights will return to Houston October 14 & 15 to speak at Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral.  Chittister will address the topic: “Spirituality, Self and Society,” based on her latest book, “The Rule of Benedict: A Spirituality for the 21st Century,” in which she boldly claims that St. Benedict’s sixth-century text is the only one of the great traditions that directly touches today’s issues: stewardship, conversion, communication, reflection, contemplation, humility and equality.  Sr. Joan expands the principles of the Rule into the larger context of spiritual living in a secular world and makes the seemingly archaic instructions relevant for a contemporary audience
