Thus, the challenge for our times is this: how do we think of God as Jesus intro- duces God to us? While exploring Scripture, the thoughts of theologians, Benedictine monasticism, Jewish and Islamic traditions, along with his own 978-0-8146-6657-9 personal reflections, Cyprian Paperback 112 pp., 5 x 7, $17.95 e eBook Consiglio, OSB Cam, shows us what it means to be church, to be a follower Cyprian Consiglio, OSB Cam, is a monk of New Camaldoli of Jesus, and to be like God: to Hermitage in Big Sur, California, where he currently serves as prior of the community.

"No one has taught me more about faith, calm and clarity in the service of humanity than my old friend Cyprian Consiglio. What a grace it is to have his open-hearted wisdom and his unswayable spirit in the world, teaching us how to live for something larger than self and deeper than dogma." Pico Iyer, author of The Art of Stillness "Many, just like Cyprian Consiglio, are coming to recognize the absolute centrality of Christianity being a religion of letting go and not just holding on! This changes the goal, the practice, the entire emphasis in the Christian journey, making it look much more like the Jesus journey." Richard Rohr, OFM, Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico 2 litpress.org | 800-858-5450 AMSPIR21 The Hermits of Big Sur Paula Huston Foreword by Pico Iyer Based on notes kept for over sixty years by an early American novice at New Camaldoli Hermitage, The Hermits of Big Sur tells the compel- ling story of what unfolds within this small and idealistic community when medievalism must finally come to terms with modernism. It traces the call toward fuga mundi in the young seekers who arrive to try their vocations, only to discover that the monastic life requires much more of them than a bare desire for solitude.

He invites his readers, especially monks and nuns, to reflect on their own experi- ences of community as a means of seeing a path forward into the future. MW064P, 978-0-87907-067-0 Paperback 224 pp., 5½ x 8½, $19.95 e eBook Available October 2021 Michael Casey, OCSO, has been a monk of Tarrawarra Abbey (Australia) since 1960. He is the author of many books, including The Road to Eternal Life: Reflections on the Prologue of Benedict's Rule; Seventy-Four Tools for Good Living: Reflections on the Fourth Chapter of Benedict's Rule; and Balaam's Donkey, all from Liturgical Press. "With realism and no little wit, Michael Casey dispels any romantic notion of the monastery as he portrays monastic community as a school of love where members are called to grow in humility, gentleness, and patience, especially with those who are different. Michael Casey’s profound insights invite all readers to a deeper encounter with the other—both human and divine." Dr. Glenn E. Myers, Professor of Church History and Theological Studies, Crown College "Casey successfully demonstrates that the individual search for God and community life are not two disparate elements of coenobitism but are in fact mutually dependent upon one another.

Relatively few large-scale works for mixed choir were produced Tunder this influence, however, either prior to or after the Russian Revolution. The music of the Orthodox Church was supposed to function within the liturgical context, and thus was not to become too extensive or dominating. It was not until 1864 that it was possible to give public church-music concerts in Moscow, and the Imperial Chapel had to approve of any church-music compositions. There are only a few notable works known outside of Russia, including Tchaikovsky’s Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and Rachmaninov’s All-Night Vigil, a cappella works of great length and grandeur. During the communist rule, very little church music was com- posed, as the Soviet régime was adamantly atheist in a most repressive fashion as early as during Lenin’s reign.
