The Monastic Life in the '70's

The Monks of St. Johns Abbey defy stereotype. They are as diverse as any group of 300 men living under one roof. They share much--a way of life, a tradition, St. Benedict's precept that their road to heaven is a combination of work and prayer. Yet, they differ, they disagree and sometimes may bicker.
