Christ is Risen!!!
I was wondering if anyone knew where to find a reliable translation of the Holy Rule of St Benedict.

St. John of Kronstadt Press also has a book with the Rule, the Life, and the Service to St. Benedict.

If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
