Benedictine scholar Sister Laura Swan has studied and written about the history of women's spirituality and the monastic life for many years. There is no fee for this webinar on November 18 at 7:00 p.m. ET where Sister Laura will engage us with voices from the past that call to us with their message — one we desperately need in our lives today.

With Sister Laura we will explore what the message of the Beguines might be for us today.
