We have had a very interesting week of classes give by Tyler Sergent, a professor at Berea College in Kentucky.
The classes were on William of Saint-Thierry on the Spiritual Life. We studied William's life and way of thinking and aspects of the spiritual life as given in his writings. William was a 12th century Cistercian monk, one of the Cistercian fathers. These classes are so helpful in opening up texts for us for further study and deeper understanding.
Berea College, Tyler informed us is a very unique place. It is a very good liberal arts college that has been racially integrated since its beings in the 1800's. Students do not pay tuition. They are all required to study, work and give service to the Appalachian population that they live in.
