Resources for Study & Reflection
Learning from the Benedictine Tradition
Glastonbury Abbey offers academic resources for high school and college communities seeking to engage more deeply with the Benedictine tradition and the lived experience of monastic life.
These materials are designed to support classroom discussion, campus ministry programs, and independent study. They introduce key themes of Benedictine spirituality—prayer, stability, community, and the search for God—through reflections drawn from the life of the Abbey.
Classroom & Video Resources
Explore a growing library of recorded talks, reflections, and presentations designed for classroom and campus use. These resources are created primarily for religiously oriented high schools and colleges, while remaining accessible to anyone interested in exploring the richness and diversity of faith.
Each presentation is approximately 40 minutes in length and is designed for easy integration into theology and history curricula. This collection continues the Benedictine tradition of sharing scholarship in service of deeper understanding.
