I am not a monk.
I am not poor.
I live in a very comfortable home.

I came to the Cornerstone Community as a gay man who loves martinis, Broadway shows, and jazz clubs. But I found The Rule of Saint Benedict, a sixth century wisdom document, to have relevance to my twenty-first century life. I joined a community of Christians who pray together, read the Psalms, study the Rule, keep to a rule of life, and encourage each other on our spiritual journey.

And I’ve written two books: Praying with Saint Benedict and A Confirmation of Faith.
