Rod Dreher
“Said Father Basil: “Saint Benedict takes the image that Scripture uses to speak about Christ himself. ‘A bruised reed he will not break, a smoldering wick he will not quench.’ Humanity is already fragile. We need to treat it with care, with concern, with delicacy.”
Rod Dreher, The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation

Rod Dreher
“But it can’t be repeated often enough: believers must avoid the usual trap of thinking that politics can solve cultural and religious problems. Trusting Republican politicians and the judges they appoint to do the work that only cultural change and religious conversion can do is a big reason Christians find ourselves so enfeebled. The deep cultural forces that have been separating the West from God for centuries will not be halted or reversed by a single election, or any election at all.”
Rod Dreher, The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation

Rod Dreher
“The moment the Benedict Option becomes about anything other than communion with Christ and dwelling with our neighbors in love, it ceases to be Benedictine,” he said. “It can’t be a strategy for self-improvement or for saving the church or the world.”
Rod Dreher, The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation

Bryan Stevenson
“Why do we want to kill all the broken people? What is wrong with us, that we think a thing like that can be right?”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

Rod Dreher
“In the Benedict Option, we are not trying to repeal seven hundred years of history, as if that were possible. Nor are we trying to save the West. We are only trying to build a Christian way of life that stands as an island of sanctity and stability amid the high tide of liquid modernity. We are not looking to create heaven on earth; we are simply looking for a way to be strong in faith through a time of great testing. The Rule, with its vision of an ordered life centered around Christ and the practices it prescribes to deepen our conversion, can help us achieve that goal.”
Rod Dreher, The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation
