ABCU 2004: 20-22 June
Saint Anselm College, New Hampshire
At the May 2004 meeting, presidents expressed the need for specific materials on the Catholic, Benedictine intellectual life that can be used for discussion among faculty, administrators and staff. This is our first attempt at developing materials that will be used for discussion among presidents, prioresses and abbots.
The essays are being made available on the ABCU website for access by all members and other interested persons.
