Leah Libresco’s Building the Benedict Option explores how Christians can build communities and combat the isolating effect of modern life. Since writing the book, how is the author managing the "Ben Op"?
Leah assures me that she is still “doing a lot of the same things I’ve been doing since before I wrote the book: praying with friends when I see them; inviting people into my house, trying to use the liturgical calendar and the calendar of the saints as a prompt for gatherings.” She tells me she is happy to note that people who have read the book tell her “how they took one new step to invite others into prayer and fellowship”.
