摘要

本书的目的是介绍那些选择在誓言下过宗教生活的人所做的历史、精神和信仰贡献。约翰·弗朗西斯·友谊是方济各会的前兄弟,现在已解除誓言,成为方济各三会的成员。穿插在许多宗教教团的历史中的是他自己的精神旅程。故事在他决定离开第一兄弟会之前就结束了,这既诱人又令人沮丧。在前言中,曼彻斯特主教强调并遗憾地指出,宗教誓言中的贡献在多大程度上已经从公众意识中消失或淹没。在提到大主教Stephen Cottrell的评论时,他评论道“欧洲不是由神职人员传福音的,而是由修道院传福音的”(xiii)。那些生活在农村地区、集镇或大教堂城市并担任牧师的人将在建筑、地名等方面意识到这一遗产。这本书分为十个部分,引导读者理解对宗教生活的呼唤。我们被告知,这份草稿是由几个宗教教团的成员起草的。因此,我们可以假设每个部分的结构都是僧侣或修女综合精神的典范。历史、许多宗教教团的建立、精神作家的语录和个人旅程的混合似乎得到了他们的认可。或者,它可能是方济各会的特色,甚至是作者在口袋里挖掘有用语录的独特之处。约翰·弗朗西斯(John Francis)在家里拿着他的材料,邀请读者了解支持他的东西,以及可能支持那些考虑或生活在这种职业中的人的东西。他的思考是敏锐的,甚至暗示每个生命的某些部分都是孤独的。他很好地说明了宗教生活的使命是如何使一些维多利亚和爱德华时代的女性获得独立的。他强调了在世界上最贫穷的地区为服务而牺牲的生命,这是一个值得更多公众讲述的故事。对传统宗教生活的承诺正在急剧下降。约翰·弗朗西斯承认并解释了这一点。他提到了新的宗教秩序和其他社区生活的表达方式,这本可以得到有益的扩展。奇怪的是,封面的副标题和里面的扉页不一样,但目的是一样的。这本引人入胜的书提醒或向我们介绍了宗教生活的基本原理,并表明在许多发展中的形式中,这种承诺可以而且应该继续下去。

What do you seek? Monastic wisdom for living today
The aim of this book is to introduce the history, spirituality and faith contribution made by those who have chosen to live the religious life under vows. John-Francis Friendship is a former Franciscan brother and now, released from vows, a member of the Franciscan Third Order. Interspersed with the history of many religious orders is an account of his own spiritual journey. It is both tantalising and frustrating that the story ends before his decision to leave the First Order of Brothers. In the Foreword, the Bishop of Manchester emphasises and regrets the extent to which contributions from those in religious vows has either disappeared or become submerged from public consciousness. Referring to a comment of Archbishop Stephen Cottrell, he comments that ‘Europe was not evangelised by clergy, but by monastics’ (xiii). Those who live and minister in rural areas, market towns or cathedral cities will be aware of this heritage in buildings, place names and much more. The book is divided into ten sections that guide a reader through understandings of the call to a religious life. We are told the manuscript in draft form has been worked over by members of several religious orders. Consequently, we could assume that the construction of each section models the integrated spirituality of a monk or nun. The mixture of history, accounts of the founding of many religious orders, quotations from spiritual writers and personal journey appears to have their approval. Alternatively, it may be characteristically Franciscan or even idiosyncratic to the author quarrying his pocketbook of helpful quotations. John-Francis is at home with his material and invites the reader into what has supported him and to what might support those considering or living such a vocation. His reflections are perceptive, even suggesting that some part of every life is that of a solitary. He illustrates well how a vocation to the religious life made independence possible for some Victorian and Edwardian women. His underlining of sacrificial lives dedicated to service in the poorest areas of the world is a story worthy of more public telling. Vocations to the traditional religious life are in steep decline. John-Francis acknowledges and explains this. He gives reference to new religious orders and other expressions of community living and this could have been profitably expanded. Oddly, the cover subtitle title is not the same as that on the inside flyleaf, but the aim is the same. This engaging book serves to remind or to introduce us to the fundamentals of the religious life and to suggest that in many developing forms such commitment can and should continue.

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
