The Calling (Drama) - A Staged Reading
By Deborah Jordan
    In 1882 three Benedictine Sisters, barely speaking English, journeyed from Switzerland to the Pacific Northwest, where they cared for the sick and poor and taught school. Today the community continues to follow the Rule of Benedict - commitment to healing hospitality, simplicity and peace - at the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Cottonwood, Idaho, and other places.
    The Calling, based on interviews with these modern-day 'monks', describes their conversion to a life of prayer, work and serving the wider community.
