"Saint John's holds on to the best of the past but lives totally in the present. It holds questions in respect and answers in awe. It is precisely the kind of place that a world in ethical, religious, philosophical, political and economic upheaval needs. While other institutions plunge wildly into the modern and some cling neurotically to the past, it is places like Saint John's that build bridges between the two."
S. Joan Chittister, OSB
